Patient and family support

It is vital that we help children and families cope with what can inevitably be a stressful time when visiting hospital.

The welfare of our patients is our primary concern. There can be no better care and reassurance than for a child to know that their parent is right beside them.

Any parent will tell you that there is no worse experience than their child being ill. The hospital staff will tell you that what matters most to that child’s care is having their families around them.

Charitable donations mean we can provide accommodation right opposite the hospital that allows families to stay close.  We also provide beds for mum or dad right next to their child on the ward where possible.
