Trafford General Hospital - Syringe Pumps x6

Trafford General Hospital in Manchester is planning major changes to the services it offers local children, with a new, state of the art 24-hour Paediatric Observation and Assessment Unit due to open in 2009. This will offer children in Trafford the chance to be treated in a dedicated unit by experienced, trained paediatric staff. 

 

Located next to the adult A&E department, but operating as a separate facility, it will be equipped with child-specific items and will offer more than a traditional Casualty Department, with children being observed and treated for up to six hours before being discharged under the care of the Community Nursing team.

 

We have been asked to provide six syringe pumps. These small digital devices are used to administer drugs through a drip in very precise quantities. When children and babies require medication it is vital to ensure that the quantity is exactly right. The syringe pump allows medical staff to be confident that exactly the required amount is being delivered, and therefore gives much greater peace of mind to family members.

 

Beneficiaries: Children and babies needing emergency care.

 

Total: £1,600 x6
