We've recently updated our Sibling Bags, adding in a new book and a lovely activity booklet! Siblings also receive a fantastic craft box put together by ARTventurers 🎨 We'll be rolling out the new bags soon and we can't wait to see how creative the siblings get!

The key message of #FiCare is to ensure that parents know this: your presence and participation in the care of your baby is very important. #FiCAreWeek EdinburghNeoCare continues #neonates #nicu #nicuBaby #nicuNurse

Have you seen the new All About Me Boards? 👶✨ Tiny Lives are proud to have funded brand new 'All About Me' Boards, designed by staff on Ward 35! The boards are kept bedside and allow families to play a key part in their baby's care and to aid communication!

Did you know, in the last year we've provided over 1000 pairs of Cuski Baby Miniboos to families on the unit? ✨ Miniboos are one of the most popular items we fund and allow parents to bond with their little ones! Find out more ⤵️ beta-2020.tinylives.org.uk/what-we-do/wha…

We want to take a moment to say a huge and heartfelt thanks to Michelle and Carol. Over the past few weeks they have kindly given so much of their time to assemble a WHOLE year’s worth of parent packs and big memories books for the babies and families on the unit 😍 🥰

We can’t say thank you enough to everyone Westerhope Golf Club for kindly supporting Tiny Lives They have continued their support to us after their head greenkeeper Sam and his family experienced time in the Neonatal Unit when their son Oaklan was born poorly 2 years ago.

We have recently funded two new items to support families on the neonatal unit. The new TV and fridge will help to provide comfort and convenience whilst they are on the unit with their baby

I've seen a lot of #vilification of the #JuniorDoctorsStrike, claiming they're being "greedy". It's not even about pay. It's about #patientsafety and this guy's evident fear for the #NHS should have us all very worried. Let's not vote this dreadful #government in again. 😳

Hey Ryanair, my parents who are in their 70s and 80s, had accidentally downloaded the return flight boarding card instead of the outgoing ones and you charged them £110 to print them at the airport. £110 for 2 pieces of paper which took 1 minute. Shame on you

The BMA is deeply concerned that Epsom and St Hellier University Hospitals NHS Trust is seeking to force Dr Usha Prasad to pay the Trust’s costs in relation to the employment tribunal process stemming from Dr Prasad raising patient safety issues🧵

We’re delighted that Great North Children’s Hospital’s #PICU in Newcastle are now using our service! This is good news for all families, but it is especially great for families with babies transferred from the #NICU at the RVI, as their account will be automatically transferred.
