This , we’re celebrating the strength and love that families bring – whether in the lab or at home.

Harvey’s Lab Tours wouldn’t be possible without the incredible network of families who inspire us, support one another, and remind us why our work matters.

Thank you for being part of the Harvey’s Lab Tours family! 💙

🧪 Four young scientists took over the labs at Royal Stoke University Hospital last week as part of an exciting Harvey’s Lab Tour!

Harper, Lola, Jamie and Harrison – all oncology patients from University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust – visited the hospital's pathology lab, saw their blood samples being processed, looked through microscopes, and even got to wear lab coats 👩‍🔬

Their visit was organised to help them better understand what happens behind the scenes during their treatment.

Harper’s mum, Alex, said:

“The tour was an eye opener for Harper to see why we have all these tests done and what happens with her bloods after they are taken. I found it interesting as a parent and it’s good that the hospital are doing something special for the patients and their families to help them process what’s going on.”

Huge thanks to the team at UHNM for making it happen, and to our mini lab stars for inspiring us all! 💙🔬

Harvey’s Lab Tours popped up at Newcastle Cathedral for an exciting hands-on event 🧪

Families learned about blood science through interactive activities, mock samples, real (expired!) blood products and colourful goody bags. Led by scientist Nicola Finlay, the team showed how one tiny sample can help diagnose big health problems.

After a tough experience left Gilbert feeling anxious about blood tests, the team at Medway Maritime Hospital arranged a special Harvey’s Lab Tour to help rebuild his confidence.

He followed his sample through the lab, viewed colourful blood films under the microscope, and even left saying he wants to be a scientist one day! 🔬

A big thank you to the Medway team for such a brilliant visit 💙

In March, Betsy stepped into the UHS labs to learn about the science behind her sister Mary’s care.

She met amazing scientists like Chloe, Andrew and Steve, grouped red cells in Blood Transfusion, and even created an emotions volcano to talk about how healthcare can make us feel.

Betsy left with a lab coat, certificate, teddy, and big smiles. She even got a goody bag for her sister. 🧪🧸

Thank you to the team at UHS for making this tour so thoughtful, fun, and engaging 💙 https://bit.ly/4cDfaFp
