Have you spoken to any of our friendly peer supporters at Derby or Burton hospital?

Did you know we provide support for parents - mums, dads and partners - and families there?

Our peer supporters might chat to you while you're waiting for an appointment, while you're staying on the ward, or when you're visiting your baby on NICU.

We are there to support you for whatever you're going through 💛

Our mums made bracelets and decorated clay foot prints, then carried on crafting in the open lounge with support from our wonderful staff.
