MedEquip4Kids celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2010 and has raised more than £10 million to provide items of medical equipment for children’s wards, neo-natal units and community health teams across the north of England.
The charity provides a unique service by fundraising on behalf of medical staff, play therapists, community nurses and the ambulance service to ensure babies, children and teenagers receive the best possible care when sick or injured.
The Guvnors Club aims to raise £20,000.
This will pay for:
A CTG Heart Rate Monitor requested by North Manchester General Hospital – to measure a baby’s heartbeat while it is still in the womb.
A Nitrous Oxide delivery system, requested by Salford Royal Hospital Emergency Medicine Department. This administers an effective painkiller and relaxant quickly and safely.
Clown doctors for the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital to visit the children’s wards, using music, jokes, magic tricks and games to help them forget their hospital surroundings.
