University Hospital Lewisham

Since 2018 we have developed a relationship with the unit in Lewisham to help raise much needed funds. To date, these pieces of equipment have ranged from Neopuffs to help with respiration to Apnoea Monitors and Vein Finders to Reclining Chairs for Kangaroo Care cuddles.

Current Appeal:

The team at Lewisham are keen to fundraise for a Twin Cot for use on the unit when they have multiple births. These cots are a lovely addition to any neonatal unit as they held twins to bond, comfort and settle each other in the outside world.

The progress of the Appeal is shown below and a photo of this equipment that we purchased for another unit recently can be seen on the right.

Number of Cots: 19

Babies treated per annum: Up to 400

Level 2 Unit: Deliveries usually at 28 weeks gestation and above considered to be medium risk
