You know it’s a going to be a good day when @loubylouclown comes to visit!

We had the pleasure of welcoming Louby Lou, aka ‘The Magic Medic’ to Ormskirk General Hospital Children’s Unit, where she filled the ward with laughter and smiles.

Being in hospital can be tough for children and their families, so Louby Lou’s visits provide a wonderful break — not just for patients, but for parents and staff too

She doesn’t just lift spirits; she helps children build their confidence and resilience during what can often be a long stay or a difficult procedure

Thanks to your generous donations, Louby Lou is able to bring joy to children’s units across the North West. We’re so grateful for your support!

“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.”
