@GWH_NHS @CrowdysHill Thank you to Crowds s Hill School for coming to visit today and bringing gifts for our Children’s Emergency Unit. All the money collected at their Christmas Carol service they kindly used to buy sensory items for us here. We can’t thank you enough

@GWH_NHS Amazing team

We are shining a light on Severn Freewheelers, a charity of volunteers who support our patients by transporting blood, medicines, samples and breast milk around the local area.🏍 In 2024 the incredible team carried out 2,180 trips and 2025 is looking set to be another busy year.

@GWH_NHS This Christmas the staff in the Children’s Emergency Unit have chosen to sponsor a guide dog puppy rather than send cards or secret Santa presents at work. Meet Jack, our lovely puppy who we will update you about through the year!

@GWH_NHS The party people have brought a smile and gifts to the Children’s Emergency Unit! Thank you all!

@GWH_NHS Green ED! No wrap present give away! We have gone green and having a present give away this year!

@GWH_NHS Children’s Emergency Unit we are getting ready for Christmas! With the amazing support of the Children’s Unit play therapy team and volunteers we have trees and fabulous donation of toys to give our children’s! This year we have opted for a ‘non wrap’ present give away!

A massive Christmas thank you to Swindon Birthday Project for their kind donation to our Children’s Emergency Unit! @GWH_NHS

Thank you to @tinybutmighty.org.uk! More fantastic donations including spill proof mugs for parents to have hot drinks! @GWH_NHS @Natlaw111 Children’s Emergency Unit

Thank you to Polydron for their generous generosity ft to our Children’s Emergency Unit! Such gifts make our department more fun and inviting for all children, and some parents!!

Catch Katie Rix and Dr Phil Peacock on @BBCWiltshire this morning, who have shared an update one week on from the opening of our new Children's Emergency Unit. 💙 In the first week, the team have already treated over 200 of Swindon and Wiltshire's youngest patients.🩺

The new unit has 13 cubicles, two high acuity bays and one resuscitation bay. It also includes a baby and breastfeeding room, a sensory play room for children with neurodiversities and a wellbeing room for younger patients arriving in mental health crisis.

Our first ever dedicated Children's Emergency Unit is officially open!🎉🙌💙 The CEU opened its doors at 8am this morning, and is the next stage in our Integrated Front Door programme, following the recent opening of our new Emergency Department.

Not everyone’s cup of tea a 0630 alarm for a trail half on a Saturday, but for sure it is a great way to start a weekend! Thank you for a supportive family who get up with me!

@__SarahPotter @GWH_NHS Would love to host you!

@rixkatie1 @GWH_NHS Good luck! Can’t wait to come and visit when you’re open!

Counting down until the opening of the new Children’s Emergency Unit @GWH_NHS ! The team are working really hard to make this happen behind the scenes, a big thank you to all!

Great morning running familiarisation sessions in our new ED resus - brilliant space and equipment @rixkatie1 @BarnebyMeyer

@LowriBigwood @Jimbob_Para @tweetiepike @CheeksterLisa Fantastic work everyone!
