MedEquip4Kids has funded another AccuVein AV400 device, this time for the children’s clinic at Royal Preston Hospital.

Blood tests and cannulation are common procedures for babies and children in hospital, but children’s veins are not always easy to locate.  The AccuVein AV400 device illuminates veins below the skin, making them easier to find and reducing stress and pain for the patient.

Pictured above are Nicola Entwistle (left) and Rudo Kupera (right) with the new equipment.

The  AccuVein devices we have supplied to hospitals so far are proving extremely popular and we will continue to provide them for children’s units over the coming year.

“This donation has enabled us to use more varied and useful therapeutic toys and games when working with children and young people with mental health difficulties, as well as using extra clinic rooms which are now more child-friendly. This has helped reduced anxiety about coming to CAMHS and meant that family therapy can be done. Both parents of a 10 year old boy can now attend with their 5 year old as the youngest child can play with our new resources in the waiting room or clinic space. The 10 year old benefited from therapeutic games about thoughts/feelings and we were also able to observe imaginative play for assessment.”
