🎃 Halloween may be behind us and Christmas is fast approaching, but we couldn’t resist sharing a few spooky snaps from the Children’s Ward! From eerie decorations to a special visit from Walter the therapy dog (who’s more cuddly than creepy), it was a frightfully fun time for everyone involved. Thanks Sainsburys Morecambe for their donation of sweets and also the Children's Outpatient Department for allowing use their clinic rooms. Thanks also to the wonderful staff there who donated decorations and treats. Walter the therapy dog University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust

All donations big and small will help us reach our goal.
Our Admiral Nurse team at UHMBT provides specialist support for patients living with dementia and their families. Working closely with ward staff, they assess individual needs, offer tailored advice, and help ensure compassionate, informed care across our hospital departments.
As part of their commitment to improving dementia care, they also train staff across the Trust, most often through classroom-based sessions. For 2026, they are excited to enhance this training with a hands-on simulation experience that helps staff understand what it’s like to live with sensory and cognitive impairments.
Using specialist equipment, staff will be able to feel what it’s like to struggle with sight, hearing, perception, and memory, helping them to better empathise with patients and adapt care accordingly.
They are currently fundraising to purchase this simulation kit.

We are so grateful to Bleasdale School 🩷💜

We have been very lucky to have been donated books from 3RCharity shop in Carnforth. After we had updated our school library, all classrooms and sensory stories we still had books left. We saw a post from Bay Hospital charity looking for books and we thought this was the perfect thing to support so we sent our left over books there.
