The new Children’s Emergency Department at Stepping Hill Hospital is in need of toys and activities to distract and calm the 25,000 children that they treat each year. The department sees children from 0-15 suffering from a variety of medical and surgical conditions, injuries and mental health crisis. Children attending the Emergency Department (ED) can find it a scary and unsettling experience and the wait for treatment long and boring. The ED team would like to make the waiting room bright and welcoming with the addition of an aquatic bubble tube and wall mounted activity boards. These items will help to alleviate fear by distraction and help pass the time waiting for treatments.
