One of our parents is raising funds for a specialist bereavement room at each neonatal unit – Queen Charlotte's and The Winnicott Baby Unit at St Mary's. The rooms will allow families to spend as much time as they wish with their baby, in private or with the support of a nurse, and will provide a more comfortable environment than a ward. If you would like to support the project please contact pippa@winnicott.org.uk or donate via http://www.justgiving.com/sara-wan-bereavementrooms.

Any additional funds raised will help to refurbish the parent bedrooms in the units.

Thank you.

This exciting equiment, which includes a whole body wrap and a brain function monitor, is used to reduce the core temperature of babies who have experienced oxygen deprivation at birth. The effect of oxygen deprivation is life long – from mild learning difficulties through to severe disability. This treatment has been shown to prevent brain damage in up to 40% of babies cooled.

Researchers at Queen Charlotte’s and Chelsea Hospital and Imperial College have been involved in the development of the equipment and treatment.  Queen Charlotte’s and St Mary’s are cooling centres for babies from across and out of London, often caring for babies transferred in for this specialist care.

The Winnicott Foundation is delighted to be able to support the treatment of more babies by buying equipment from funds raised at our ball in March as well as from the family of a baby who benefitted from cooling. 

Thank you for your support.
