Thank you so much to our long-standing supporters VINCI Construction UK for holding a golf day in aid of MedEquip4Kids. Thirteen teams took part in the event on 2nd June at Worsley Park Marriott Hotel and Country Club. Congratulations to the winning teams:

1st Place – Aplant
2nd Place – VINCI
3rd Place  – HE SIMM

The golf day raised an amazing £8,420, which will fund an AccuVein AV400 vein illumination device for Stepping Hill Hospital. The device allows clinicians carrying out venepuncture to see children’s veins that are invisible to the naked eye, reducing stress and pain for the child.

We are providing this equipment as part of our appeal following the attack on Manchester Arena to raise £100,000 to make sure hospitals in Greater Manchester are fully equipped to provide emergency treatment, rehabilitation and long-term care to children and young people in the event of such incidents.

“Infections of the central nervous system need urgent and appropriate treatment. Most laboratory methods can take from 24 to 48 hours for diagnosis of bacterial meningitis and three to seven days for diagnosis of viral meningitis or encephalitis. The new equipment will mean we can get results of these tests in around an hour. We’ll be able to inform the clinicians of a positive result, allowing targeted therapy and reassurance to the patients and families. Just as important is the reporting of negative results, which may enable treatment withdrawal and possibly a shorter hospital stay.”
