World Prematurity Day 💜

Join us today in celebrating our littlest superheroes. Hannah will be at the SCBU coffee morning this morning from 10-11.30 and is looking forward to seeing some of you.

Thinking of everyone who today means a lot to, whether currently on a Neonatal Unit, navigating life at home, dropping your tiny fighters to school or on your 25th WPD.

And for those who find today hard we celebrate your strength, and are thinking of you 💜
