Local Cubs bring big smiles to Worcestershire Royal A&E department. 👏🎁👏

In a wonderful show of community spirit, 20th Worcester Scout Group Cubs, have made a big impact with their thoughtful donation of toiletry kits!

The group came together to create 90 thoughtfully packed toiletry kits in their quest to earn the coveted Community Impact Badge – which they then donated to support patients visiting Worcestershire Royal Hospital’s busy A&E department.

As part of their Community Impact Badge, the Cubs rolled up their sleeves and got to work - collecting supplies, packing kits, and delivering them with huge smiles and even bigger hearts. Each pack contains essential items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, flannels, soap, and more, providing much-needed comfort to patients who arrive in emergency situations without basic personal care items.

Thank you to these amazing Cubs - you’ve made a big difference, one kit at a time.

Thanks to you, patients with apraxia and aphasia, now have access to specialist therapy apps when recovering in our Acute Stroke Unit.

A patient recently fed back that the apps "work for them" and are helping them with their talking rehabilitation.

A nurse on the ward shared that the patient was able to independently navigate the apps to help with both their aphasia and apraxia - "It was great to see him using the iPad within sessions and on his own later in the day! These apps help patients achieve greater therapy intensity and give them more ownership over their recovery."

The apps to be installed on the Acute Stroke Unit iPad, giving patients the tools to continue their recovery on the ward.

A HUGE thank you to the Day Surgery Diva's who took on the Foundation Group Charities "It's a Knock Out" event on Saturday!

The small but mighty team, from Day Surgery at Kidderminster Hospital and Treatment Centre, took on colleagues from South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust and George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust, competing in various challenges throughout the day, thank you so much for taking part!

The event was arranged by the Foundation Group charities, Worcestershire Acute Hospitals Charity, SWFT Charity and George Eliot Hospital Charity, as a wellbeing day for NHS staff, with friends and families welcome to come along and cheer their loved ones on.

A picnic lunch of burgers was provided by Rapid Relief Team UK Warwickshire Group, for all to enjoy and the day was a good opportunity for colleagues across the Foundation Group to come together as one.

Although we lost the coveted last place wooden spoon, the Day Surgery Diva’s are the winners of the day in our eyes. 💙

A big thank you to the sponsors of the event for making it all possible; Altera Digital Health, Computacenter UK, Currie & Brown, Equans UK & Ireland and Rapid Relief Team UK Warwickshire Group.

Making hospital trips and stays more comfortable for our youngest patients, thanks to you! Your support has bought TV’s and Disney+ subscriptions to the children’s clinic and young persons room on Riverbank at Worcestershire Royal Hospital. 💙

Visiting the children’s clinic can be tough but having some comforting background noise and an episode of familiar television programmes on can help ease patients and their loved ones.

Being able to keep up to date with the latest tv serries can help our young people to feel more at ease and up to date with their peers during their hospital stays. Having a tv and subscription in the young people’s room also gives patients a more grown-up space to spend time whilst on the children’s ward away from their hospital beds and rooms.
