The Mayor of Salisbury's Appeal 2007-8 - Helping Children in our Hospital

mayor of salisbury appealEach year, the Sarum Children's Ward at Salisbury District Hospital treats around 7,000 sick children.

Whilst some children require simple routine treatment, increasingly the staff on the ward are providing care for more and more complex medical conditions including Cancer, Cystic Fibrosis, Meningitis and children who have been seriously injured in an accident.

Sarum Children's WardThe Mayor's Appeal aims to provide state-of-the-art monitoring equipment to the Sarum Children's Ward. This cutting edge technology enables highly precise monitoring of key indicators of a child's heath, for example Heart Rate, Blood Pressure, Temperature and Oxygen Saturation. Crucially, this is achieved by the use of a single piece of equipment, ensuring minimum disruption, disturbance and distress to the child. It also avoids the need for the child to be surrounded by and connected to a multitude of different machines, which can be frightening and upsetting.

Helping Children in our Hospital “To have the latest state-of-the-art monitoring equipment on the ward will help children be seen, assessed and diagnosed more quickly and efficiently. These new monitors will make a real difference by helping my team of nurses and doctors deliver the very best possible care to seriously ill children”

Kathryn Skinner - Senior Sister, Sarum Children's Ward
