Altnagelvin Parents Group

"As a small, local charity that supports families who have children living with lifelong and life limiting medical conditions, it has been our pleasure to work in partnership with Ulster University Child Health Society and the WHSCT Health Improvement Equality and Involvement Department to co-design the Teddy Bear Hospital.

The children attending have experienced a lot of hospitalisation and medical procedures in their short lifetime as a result of their medical conditions. The aim was to develop a fun and engaging project, focusing on promoting a positive image of the healthcare profession and promoting healthy lifestyles, while aiming to reduce fears children may have developed."
