This Easter is going to be an extra special one for us - it’s our very first one in our new Women and Children's Building! 💛

Staff have been busy decorating the space with bright colours, bunnies, and springtime cheer, helping to make the ward feel warm, welcoming and full of Easter magic for our young patients and their families.

And we also want to say a heartfelt thank you to all the incredible local businesses who have generously donated Easter eggs so far to our Children’s Ward.

Your kindness brings lots of joy to our young patients and their families and really makes a big difference 💕

Just some of the companies that have donated so far are Chester Scooter Club , Hesis, TD Cooling Services - and there have been lots of others too.

Thank you, your generosity means the world to our staff and, most importantly, to the children spending Easter with us.

What a lovely photo - and a great example of the brilliant work Cycling Without Age Chester do to help people enjoy time outdoors.

We’re very lucky to have the Friends of Countess of Chester Country Park right on our doorstep - especially in such nice weather! 🌳🚴‍♀️

Last week, to mark Nutrition and Hydration Week, you might have spotted our Dietetics team out and about on our main corridors, raising awareness of the importance of staying well‑nourished and hydrated. 🍓🍉🍐

The team ran an information stand all week, sharing advice on nutrition screening, healthy eating, and staying hydrated.

Some of them even took on the experience of wearing a nasogastric tube themselves to better understand what patients go through, and they also visited several wards with food and drinks, sparking helpful conversations around tubes and their care.

During the week, the team encouraged other wards to join in the annual global tea party, which gave staff and patients the opportunity to pause and enjoy a moment together.

Well done to the Dietetics team for organising such an informative week, and thank you to everyone who got involved or stopped by the stand. 💦🍊🍍

🚶‍♀️ If you’re walking to the new Women & Children’s Building or the Therapies modular from today, please take note of a small change to the route.

The usual footpath past the old building is now closed, as we’re preparing the area for upcoming deconstruction works on the old site.

Here’s a quick video to show you the new way round - blink and you might miss it! ▶️

Thanks for your patience while we make these improvements.

We’re aware of UKHSA’s update on a meningitis outbreak in Kent.

There have been no recent local cases here, but it’s still important to know the signs of meningitis and septicaemia.

Symptoms can come on quickly, so if you’re ever worried about yourself or someone else, seek medical help straight away.

We're so proud to have this incredible park right next to our hospital, and this wonderful green space is something we never take for granted - it's a place our patients, staff and local community enjoy every single day.🌳

You can help get involved in planting for the future as the Friends of Countess of Chester Country Park gather on Friday 20 March, from 2pm - 3pm to replant the Friendly Bench as part of the Networks for Nature project.

It's a brilliant chance to get outdoors, support wildlife, and help create a space where people can connect. 🌿

Next Friday come and help us replant the Friendly Bench plants - all welcome.
