New Care Kit For St Mary's Children's Ward Thanks To Family's Generosity

St Mary's Children's Ward has received new care equipment, thanks to the generosity of the family of a former patient.

The family of Chelsea, who was treated on the ward, made a generous donation in memory of their daughter following her death.

Thanks to that donation, new equipment for the care of less mobile patients and those with additional needs has been purchased and installed.

A tracking hoist, used to help patients move between care areas, has been installed and aptly named 'Hercules'.

Additionally, a shower trolley (named Shirley) has been purchased, allowing patients to be bathed safely and securely.
