Here are just some of the ways you have helped support Birmingham Children’s Hospital purchase new state-of-the-art equipment.

Medical equipment

    Transforming experiences using Virtual Reality – Matthew’s story

    Being in hospital is an incredibly worrying time for our sick kids and this anxiety can mean our expert doctors and nurses sometimes struggle to perform simple procedures. A number of successful trials across our hospital has proved using virtual reality (VR) technology can significantly decrease stress levels and reduce discomfort during minor medical procedures.

  • Thank You For Listening Appeal

    Help to transform lives for just £8.67 per month. This works out at just £2.00 per week spread out over the year – cheaper than a cup of tea or coffee!
