Thank you to the brilliant children at Sedgley Park Community Primary School in Prestwich, who raised a whopping £390 for us through their Doctors and Patients Day!

Pupils chose to dress as a doctor, nurse or patient to raise money for vital equipment for hospitals, SEND schools and CAMHS services in the North West, all as part of their annual harvest festival celebrations. 🌾

We love to see schools getting stuck in and supporting us, especially with original ideas like this! If you’d like do the same in your community, then contact info@medequip4kids.org.uk to see how we can help. 💙

“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.”
