⭐ Join Us at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals 'Our Health Day'!

On 18th June we're inviting people with Learning Disabilities or Neurodiversity to come learn about their health and local hospital.

Our Health Day is a friendly, inclusive event for people with learning disabilities and/or autism, along with their families, friends and carers.

Come along to the hospital to meet the professional teams who support your health and wellbeing. There will be interactive stalls, easy‑to‑understand information, and hands‑on activities to take part in. You can ask questions, explore resources, and learn more about what happens in hospital in a relaxed, welcoming environment.

This is a chance to get to know staff, build confidence, and find out how we can support you to have the best possible healthcare.

We’ve planned the event in time slots to create a calmer experience and give everyone space to explore at their own pace.

Everyone is welcome – come and take part in Our Health Day.

🏥 While we often support large scale projects with our charitable funds, sometimes the smaller projects can mean just as much to the families that our Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust maternity and neonatal colleagues care for.

One such 'small' project is the provision of specialist photographic paper, which is used to print memento photographs to use in bereavement or hope boxes, for families who have sadly lost their baby or whose babies are critically ill.

The keepsake photographs can provide vital memories for families at an extremely traumatic time - a time when the families may not think to, or not be able to, take photographs themselves. Our clinical photography colleagues typically take between 6 and 60 photographs depending on the situation at the time, and the majority of these are stored digitally for the families involved. A handful of these are printed, so the families have something tangible to take with them when they leave the hospital.

While the photographic printer that our photography colleagues use was kindly donated by Canon, the Baby Beat charity team were happy to use £384 of our charitable funds to supply paper for these poignant, ever-important images. Thank you so much to our supporters for helping raise the funds to make this possible 🙏🧡
