Patients Bed-Head Interactive Education Systems Appeal
The appeal aims to provide an integrated education and entertainment system at each of the 120 children's beds at the Sheffield Children's Hospital. The cost of each system is around £3,000.
Whilst Swell Dweller Sheffield would like to be able to provide a system for each bed with the support of Sheffield businesses, this is a very ambitious target. Nonetheless with the support of Sheffield businesses every 200 businesses subscribing to our Sheffield business guide will enable one more system to be provided for the Sheffield Children's Hospital.
Some patient’s miss huge amounts of their education due to the time spent in hospital, this system will allow the Hospital’s teachers and play specialists to work with the children and keep them up to speed with the national curriculum and other aspects of their education and development.
Doctors, surgeons and nurses will be able to access patient notes and history from the child’s bedside, streamlining this aspect of patient care.
The system will also offer TV, radio, and internet access at the bedside - which will not only enable patients to communicate easily with their families and friends but also assist in their social development, all coupled with a quality entertainment package that will help pass the long days some children have to spend in the Sheffield Children's Hospital.
Sheffield Children's Hospital will be the first Children’s Hospital in the UK to be charitably provided with these excellent systems to benefit patients!
