No-one wants their baby or child to be in hospital.
But for every single one of these young patients, doctors and nurses are working around the clock to diagnose and treat them.
Whether it’s a routine procedure or an emergency situation – it’s an incredibly worrying and stressful time for families.
To a child, hospitals can seem like a scary place, away from their parents, school, and normal life.
And though Nottingham Children’s Hospital is one of the best paediatric centres in the country, they need your help right now.
Every week, over 1,000 critically ill children are seen at Nottingham Children’s Hospital. And each year, over 1,000 premature babies are cared for on the hospital’s Neonatal Unit.
Our Big Appeal is raising money to support those babies and children – whether they’re only a few days old or in their teenage years.
Your support can make huge changes at Nottingham Children’s Hospital, to help our very youngest patients while they are here being cared for by doctors and nurses day in, day out.
