Some of the latest batch of TLC bears delivered to JCUH.
Proudly displaying the TLC Bears are Molly and her Mum, along with Dr Singh, Nurse Practitioner Amanda, Nurse Jess, and Nurse Katie.
It has been identified that when children are first admitted into A&E units they are usually very distressed, frightened, and in many cases, in considerable pain.
By providing a teddy bear for them to focus on when they first arrive, medical staff can then carry out their examinations and diagnostics checks more effectively and efficiently, thereby reducing the time needed to identify the patient’s problem, increasing the opportunity to provide and apply the appropriate treatment, which in turn hasten the patient’s recovery.
Many thanks to all who donate funds to help purchase these bears
