Josh has severe combined immunodeficiency, so he often needs blood tests to check his IgG levels. Curious about what happens next, he joined William Harvey Hospital for a special tour.

Josh’s mum said:
“Josh and I found the tour really interesting and it helped us both make sense of his conditions and his treatment. I’ve read so much about his disease and how it presents, but being shown it first hand with the opportunity to ask questions was so helpful.”

💙 Thank you to Isla, Maddy, Nick, and the whole team for making Josh’s visit so special!

Back in June, our friends at NHS Dumfries and Galloway introduced 7-year-old Sadhbh-Rose to the blood sciences lab for her very own Harvey’s Lab Tour.

Hospital visits can sometimes make Sadhbh-Rose feel anxious, so the team hoped a behind-the-scenes tour might help her feel more confident ahead of future appointments.

During the tour:

🔬 She searched for emojis under the microscope with Sue
🧃 Helped keep platelets moving
🌈 Watched colourful chemical reactions
👀 Completed our eye spy challenge in record time

A huge thanks to the team at NHS Dumfries and Galloway, and to Sadhbh-Rose for being such a curious visitor!

We love seeing this lab tour in action at Severn Pathology!

The wonderful team at University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust recently welcomed six young patients from their Paediatric Metabolic Service for a very special behind the scenes visit. Each child, living with the inherited metabolic disorder PKU, had the chance to become a scientist for the day 🧪🧬

Thank you to the team for bringing Harvey’s Lab Tours to life and helping these children learn more about the care and science that supports them 💙

Back in June, Rory visited the team at NHS Dumfries and Galloway for his very own lab tour. He came prepared, arriving in a lab coat brought from home!

With the support of biomedical scientist Gayle, Rory explored the lab, used a pipette, searched for emoji cells under the microscope, and learned all about his blood samples.

Rory lives with a rare eye condition known as idiopathic uveitis, but this didn't stop him from getting stuck into every activity with confidence.

The whole team had a wonderful time, and we’re pretty sure we just met a scientist of the future. 👏💙 https://bit.ly/44v2KeU
