🌟 A Big Thank You to David for His Brilliant Idea! 🌟

During a recent visit, our nurse Emily was chatting with her patient’s brother David, about his school sports day. David had a fantastic suggestion - he thought our nursing team should have their very own sports day too! 🏃‍♀️🏅

David even wrote a letter to Emily’s boss, explaining why:

✅ To help Emily and her colleagues get some exercise 💪
✅ To make them strong and “real heroes” 🦸‍♀️
✅ And most importantly, so they can be happy and proud 😊

We’re thrilled to say Emily’s boss, Sarah, agreed that a sports day would be a brilliant idea for the team’s wellbeing, fitness and fun! 🥳

💡 What activities do you think we should include in our sports day? Drop your suggestions in the comments - David has set the bar high, and we’d love your ideas too! 👇

This morning Sam and Jo from the Paediatric Nurse Practitioner (PNP) Service had the opportunity to attend Rochdale Health Fair at Rochdale Town Hall. They were able to raise awareness of the services both the PNP and Children's Community Nursing Team (CCNT) have to offer. The event was very well attended and they were able to provide some health promotion advice, offer signposting to other services and chat with local residents.

⭐️This evening, we would like to give a big shout-out to Anna, our Advanced Practitioner for children with complex and palliative care needs.⭐️

Anna is the co-chair of the Greater Manchester Palliative Care Network and as part of this role she was invited to the House of Commons to attend the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Children Who Need Palliative Care reception which took place yesterday.

The APPG is a cross-party group of MPs and peers which seeks to educate, inform and motivate other parliamentarians to take action to transform the lives of children and young people across the UK with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions.

When asked asked about her visit, Anna explained that there are 99,000 children and young people in the UK with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition. The number is growing, but the way in which children’s palliative care is planned, funded, and delivered across the UK is a postcode lottery.

At the reception, the charity Together for Short Lives launched its new campaign. This outlines the extent to which children and families across the country can access palliative care that meets national standards.

Attendees also heard from a parent of a seriously ill child and got to meet members of parliament. Stephen Kinnock MP, Minister of State for Care, was present, and he set out the action the UK Government is taking in this area for children and families in England. There was also a representative from the Department of Health and NHS England.

We are very proud to have Anna as part of our team. Her commitment and contributions to the field of Palliative and Complex care are unmatched and she goes above and beyond every day. She is very modest in her achievements (incuding her recent publication in a book!), but they do not go unnoticed by the team and the famillies she cares for.

On Friday the 7th of March we celebrated Big Yellow Friday in memory of Mia 💛, the wonderful, happy and quirky daughter of one of our nurses. Mia was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune condition which affected her liver. She sadly passed away last year after developing complications after receiving a liver transplant.

Mia is very sadly missed but her memory is kept alive by her Mummy and events like these.

Our celebrations involved sponging our Doctors, a big yellow raffle, name the duck, a cake stall and the selling of crafts handmade by our wonderful colleagues.

Everyone had a fantastic time and we raised a grand total of £601.45 for the Children's Liver Disease Foundation. 🤩⭐️💛

This week we have said a sad goodbye to Liz, one of our wonderful staff nurses. 👋

Liz has worked as part of the team for a number of years but is now off to Kenya to be with her parents. Alongside her brother, she will also voluntarily help to run an orphanage, which her parents opened back in 1967.

Liz will be missed by all of the team but we wish her all the best and are looking forward to hearing all about her adventures in Africa.

The whole of the children’s directorate at Callaghan House will celebrating the Children’s Liver Disease Foundation’s BIG YELLOW DAY on Friday 7th March to raise awareness for children’s liver disease in memory of Mia.

Mia is the daughter of one of our nurses who became very unwell in 2021. She was a very quirky, happy little girl with a big personality who loved all things princessy, sonic and pink. After lots of time in hospital, blood tests, biopsies, scans and scopes she was eventually diagnosed with a rare auto immune disease in 2023. This meant that her immune system wasn’t working as it should and as a result her liver had become damaged.

In 2024 Mia had a liver transplant after she went into end stage liver failure. After this she would need to go on to have chemotherapy and then a stem cell transplant. Sadly just 7 weeks after her liver transplant Mia died due to complications at the age of 6 years old.

Every year in the UK around 400 children are diagnosed with liver disease for which there is no cure. This means that children and families can face a lifetime of ongoing medical care to manage their condition or the possibility that their child will not survive into adulthood.
