Every year 4,000 children are admitted to Great Western Hospital Children's Ward, many with long term medical conditions.  Children of all ages from babies up to 18 years old, come in for the day, or repeatedly over several years, whilst others sadly are inpatients for much longer periods.

For many children, a stay away from the comforts of home and family can be a frightening and bewildering experience. So, we aim to make the Children's Ward a welcoming place offering young patients a home away from home to spend precious time with their families. 

We want to transform the ward with equipment that will enhance the service on offer to families and make life that little bit easier for our staff.
