Spring is here, and so is the latest edition of Something to Smile About, our regular newsletter that brings you up to date with all our projects, fundraising and events news.
In it you’ll see we’ve recently provided resuscitaires for the maternity unit at Furness General Hospital to help give babies a safe and healthy birth. You can also find out more about the equipment still in need of funding. Simply click on the image below to read the newsletter.
“The specialist treatment chairs are a new vital resource for the therapy team and nursing staff to be able to safely and comfortably sit extremely complex, dependant, critical care patients out of bed. The chairs allow us to begin the patient’s rehabilitation journey by providing appropriate postural support at the same time as pressure relief to allow the patient to build the muscle strength to hold themselves up against gravity. This allows them to begin to interact with their environment in a more normal way, enabling them to participate in meaningful activities such as meal times and activities of daily living.”
