Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children, Belfast.
The Foundation has already helped to fund a new sophisticated Gyrus PK Generator which is used during surgery, and will reduce surgical trauma and inpatients stay, resulting in enhanced recovery. We have also provided funding for the creation of a multisensory room centered around the stimulation of the senses - sight, sound, touch, movement and smell. The multi-sensory environment will support interaction, discovery and communication. We are also supporting the creation of a DVD to help explain what the hospital does as well as introduce the patients and their families to key people within the ‘children’s’. It will show them areas like wards, theatres, and other relevant parts of the hospital which will help to minimise inevitable anxiety. As children play with DVD’s in their home environment, similar play experience during their hospital stay would be a very therapeutic and happy distraction.
