Project Description
Funds raised towards this project will help with the purchase of five new Giraffe Incubator Carestations.
These incubators will hugely enhance treatment and the patient experience for the 250 – 300 babies admitted to our neo-natal units each year and their parents too. They have rotating mattresses allowing specialists to work most effectively on these incredibly vulnerable babies. Space around such a small patient often with many tubes and wires attached is vital. The lids to these incubators also lift up, allowing the preferable option of ‘passive cooling’ for babies with brain injuries and giving parents the precious opportunity to touch their babies when they are otherwise unable to hold them. These Incubator care stations will be life changing for some of the tiniest patients across our hospitals and in turn for their parents.
