Thursday 3rd October was National Poetry Day. To mark the occasion, our project co-coordinator Evelyn composed this lovely poem about the different ways you can help our charity. Evelyn is 2nd from right 

On behalf of MedEquip4Kids
This National Poetry Day
Please listen to our message
And help in some small way.

Slattery have a prize draw
The winner will be pleased
With a year of food and chocolate
Their appetite appeased.

Our Shimmer Ball is filling fast
A night of food and fun
Live music and some dancing
A diamond to be won.

But last and more importantly
Our message here today
Is pop along to Tesco
And give the votes some sway.

We’ll get at least ten thousand
But it could be twenty-five
And this will make a difference
To keeping kids alive.

Incubators, monitors
C-PAPS and the rest
Please add your tokens to our pile
And ensure we are the best!

“Infections of the central nervous system need urgent and appropriate treatment. Most laboratory methods can take from 24 to 48 hours for diagnosis of bacterial meningitis and three to seven days for diagnosis of viral meningitis or encephalitis. The new equipment will mean we can get results of these tests in around an hour. We’ll be able to inform the clinicians of a positive result, allowing targeted therapy and reassurance to the patients and families. Just as important is the reporting of negative results, which may enable treatment withdrawal and possibly a shorter hospital stay.”
