The Paediatric Outpatients’ Department at Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport treats approximately 3-4,000 children each year aged from birth to 18. Patients come from across Stockport, South Manchester and Cheshire.

Many of the children who attend the clinic require blood pressure monitoring or oxygen saturation levels recording. The Paediatric Outpatients’ Sister has asked us to help by providing an electronic recording Blood Pressure Machine. This model also incorporates an integrated Pulse Oximeter to record oxygen levels in the blood.

This piece of equipment is quick, accurate and easy to use and extremely child friendly.   It is widely used in other departments within the hospital.

The monitor costs £1,500. As a charity we do not pay VAT on medical items.
