Special ice creams help nourish older patients
Thanks to our supporters, we’ve funded some special ice creams to keep older patients hydrated and nourished during their time in hospital.
The N-ICE creams were developed by a team at NUH for older patients who may struggle to eat, especially in the warmer weather, and are rich in the nutrients they need to aid their recovery.
Helping young patients relax during hospital visits
Thanks to supporters of our Big Appeal, we’ve been able to fund a new sensory trolley to help keep children calm and relaxed during hospital visits.
The activity station in Children’s Outpatients South is frequently used by children who are having blood taken, to keep them calm and distracted, and contains a variety of fun sensory activities.
