Nine years ago we were supported by SSNAP when our daughter Maisie was born and were very grateful for the care we received.

Imagine your newborn baby needing specialist care at birth. Instead of those very special days getting to know your baby as a family, you’re catapulted into an unfamiliar world of incubators, wires, alarms, medical tests and urgent interventions — a journey no parent is ever prepared for.

While your baby has specialist treatment at the John Radcliffe Hospital, SSNAP provide vital support to families. We also fund equipment for the unit, invest in training for NHS staff, run Little SSNAPlings and support research projects.
