Some patients between 3-17 years old need hospital care during the time of their education. We don’t want to see them miss out.
We need your help to raise £12,000 to install enhanced technology in the children’s department in the new BEACH building at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital.
The Quay School at Poole Hospital provides full-time education to patients who are unable to access mainstream schools and to ensure education contributes positively to patient recovery.
When the Quay School moves to our brand-new children’s department, there’s an opportunity to fully equip the classroom with technology that is beyond NHS funds to help transform patient care and their education.
The impact we can make:
- Patients will receive personalised learning opportunities in a creative and supportive environment.
- Instead of crowding around a laptop, an interactive whiteboard could be used to share presentations, videos and children’s own work on a large screen.
- With iPads, children could connect with their home school during their hospital stay and engage with interactive activities.
- Bed-bound children could join in with activities on iPads and laptops.
- Each child could have an individual table tailored to their height, including wheelchair users.
