One year ago, Emma visited Royal United Hospitals Bath for her first tour.

During her treatment for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia, she wanted to see what happens behind the scenes with her blood tests - and our amazing biomedical scientists were happy to show her around. 🧪

Emma explored specimen reception, haematology, biochemistry and transfusion. She even had a go at a few lab techniques herself!

Seeing how the lab supports her care helped her feel more confident and curious about science. 🌟

Every Harvey’s Lab Tour helps young patients understand their healthcare, meet the people behind their results and feel a little braver during their hospital visits. ❤️

🧪✨ At Great Ormond Street Hospital, Rachel Moss and her team have been delivering Harvey's Lab Tours for almost a decade.

From bubbly dry ice eruptions to looking down microscopes and filling colourful test tubes, their tours make learning about healthcare fun and exciting.

💬 “The dry ice and bubbles have guaranteed squeals of fun from our young visitors.” – Rachel Moss

We love seeing how these tours bring smiles, confidence, and curiosity to every child who visits. 💙

Have you ever wondered how blood travels from the lab to patients across Cornwall, or even to the Isles of Scilly?

At Royal Cornwall Hospital, young patients and their families are finding out.

After seeing how their samples are tested and stored in the Blood Bank, they get a special visit from the incredible volunteers at Cornwall Blood Bikes - real-life healthcare heroes who deliver blood and samples across the county and beyond.

It’s a fun and interactive way to show children the teamwork, science, and care that keep our hospitals running ❤️

It’s 💛

This annual awareness week highlights the importance of giving children in hospitals the opportunity, space, and time to play - helping them feel more confident and comfortable in healthcare settings.

At Harvey’s Lab Tours, we share the same goal. By opening the doors to hospital laboratories, we help young patients and their families understand more about the science behind their care, making hospitals feel more accessible and a little less scary. 🧪✨

The Blood Sciences team at Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary made science come alive for Kara and her mum with a hands-on Harvey’s Lab Tour 🧪

Kara, who has Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis, looked around the lab, spotted 'emoji' shapes through the microscope and even created her own 'vampire diary blood'🩸
