The Dudley Group NHS Charity makes a real difference to those being treated in our hospitals or in their own homes. We are not about providing healthcare; charitable donations enable us to give extra comfort, equipment and facilities above and beyond those which are supplied by the NHS.

Story

At such a worrying time for parents, knowing their vulnerable baby is getting the best possible treatment will give so much comfort.  There are so many ways that your donations can make a huge difference.

In order to provide immobile tiny newborns the best care possible they require bedding that is similar to that of a nest.  Babies that are born prematurely have very soft bones and have the inability to retain heat.  Developmental positional gel packs mould to the shape of their body and fit snugly around them to provide soft and gentle support and helps to retain body heat.

Phototherapy units cost £3,500 each.  They enable us to give phototherapy treatment to newborns with jaundice without the need of an incubator, literally, because the BiliBed can be fitted into standard hospital cots.
