A massive thank you to one of our lovely families who have gifted us a projector that can display films/TV on our ceiling. ♥️
This is absolutely perfect for all our kids that have limited movement or may be unable to sit up to watch a screen.
We are so greatful that this can be used to provide some comfort and distraction whilst admitted to PHDU. ♥️

End of an era!
This evening we say 'see you later' to one of our band 6 nurses Anna.
Anna has worked on HDU since 2013 and is one of our most knowledgeable and respected team members. We will miss her so much, but good luck in the new role Anna! Your new team are lucky to have you.

We cannot express how grateful we are for this incredibly generous donation from Clevertouch Consulting.
The team at Clevertouch have been fundraising in order to purchase us 4(!) brand new iPads all with Disney plus logged in, as well as so many other incredible goodies from the wish list!🥹

Your thoughtful support will make a real and tangible difference to the children and families in our care during what can often be an extremely challenging time. The gifts you have provided will bring comfort, distraction, and joy to our young patients and make being hospital just that little bit easier.

Thank you never feels like enough for the amazing donations we receive but we’re very excited as a team to share these goodies with the patients and families on the unit. ❤️

Rumour has it last night was the Christmas do in the North Pole… no wonder Elfie is so tired this morning! Looks like the elves were partying all night and Father Christmas was on the DJ decks 🎅🏼🎤

From snowball fights to zip lining, the elves have been up to all sorts while the patients have been fast asleep the last few days 🙊
We’ve been loving our patients reactions to the elves naughty antics- the siblings and families have been loving them too!
Let us know which one has been your favourite so far 🤩

The naughty elves have been at it again! We found Elfie the Elf (named by our patient) doing some construction work with the paw patrol gang this morning 👷‍♂️

01/12/2025

It’s December 1st, which means the mischievous Elves have officially defrosted and have come to PHDU to keep our patients and families company!
We found this elf hanging from the curtain rail this morning to surprise one of our patients when he woke up 🎄🎅🏼
