This time last week, we launched our £2m Emergency Department Appeal ❤️🚨

Joined by 15-year-old patient Bella, we proudly launched our appeal to raise £2million to help transform our Emergency Department. Donations will help us expand our spaces and provide much-needed facilities, improving the experiences of patients like Bella and their families.

Our hospital is the only major trauma centre for children and young people in the Midlands, and our Emergency Department is no longer equipped to cope with the 65,000 sick kids it sees annually. Our children deserve better.

Together, we can create a calmer, more child-friendly Emergency Department for the children who need us most ❤️

ARE YOU READDDDY...to say hello to Nitro? 👋 🔥

Today, our patients had a surprise visit from the one and only Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, aka Nitro, from BBC's Gladiators 😍

Harry (or Nitro!) popped in to say "hi" to some of our patients ahead of the Strictly Come Dancing LIVE tour, which starts here in Birmingham tomorrow. He's also speaking at the National Running Show next weekend (for which we've been the proud official charity partner for the last six years).

Kindly giving up his own time, Harry spent hours chatting and laughing with our patients. As the huge smiles of excitement in the video show, he brought a huge boost of joy and positivity to our sick kids.

Thank you, Harry, for helping to lift spirits and create fab-u-lous memories our young patients won’t forget ❤️

Well done Charlie 🎉 who's still smiling following a six-hour operation to remove an arachnoid cyst from his brain.

Paediatric Neurosurgeon Mr Lo performed the surgery to remove the cyst and now Charlie is back home and recovering.

His Mum Emma shared: “I'm sharing our story to show everyone how important routine eye tests are.

"Charlie's diagnosis was such a shock. He hadn't been poorly at all. We went for a routine eye test after school one day and they found swelling at the back of his eyes. We were sent straight to hospital and a CT Scan showed an arachnoid cyst.

“The care he received was fantastic. We were both looked after so well. We cannot thank you all enough for what you have done for us. Mr Lo and all the staff on ward 10 are absolutely amazing.”

Maxi has been cared for at our hospital for 11 years for a rare disease called autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA) - where the immune system makes an antibody against its own red blood cells.

His mum, Hollie, shared: “His condition is so rare, with so many teams across different hospitals involved in his care. I would love to raise awareness of AIHA and hopefully connect with people who have had similar experiences.

“He has spent most of his life with the hospital and the haematology and oncology teams. It’s an amazing place and I’m so grateful.” ❤️
