Winchester Hospital

Royal Hampshire, Winchester

We started to work with the team at Winchester in 2015 and although it is a relatively small unit we have had some great support from the staff and families. We have donated equipment ranging from vapotherms to breast pumps and phototherapy lights to reclining chairs for kangaroo care cuddles.

We are delighted to be working with the wonderful & dedicated Neonatal team at Winchester hospital and would encourage anyone interested in raising funds through us for this neonatal unit to get in touch and discuss how you can get involved - the feeling of having made a tangible difference is simply incredible and very rewarding!

Current Appeal:

The team have requested 3 recliner chairs for the parents to have precious skin to skin time with their baby at the cotside. These chairs allow parents and babies to bond in comfort, they also help with calming the baby and with Mum's milk production during this time.

The progress of the Appeal is shown below.

Level 2 Unit: Deliveries usually at 28 weeks gestation and above considered to be medium risk

Number of cots: 12

Babies treated per annum: Up to 500
