330,000 children and young people are treated at Alder Hey each year but we have just a handful of rooms kitted out with the latest distraction technology allowing us to use an immersive person-centred approach to improve the well-being and comfort of patients.
Distraction technology – the use of 4D immersive projection, lighting effects and surround sound - is proven to reduce the use of sedation by 40%, meaning children are not exposed to unnecessary medicine and staff can see and treat more children.
Alder Hey Children's Charity thinks hospital staff should be able to use this technology with all of our young patients and so we raise funds to enable this. Listen to Sharon Clarke, Cardiac Physiologist explaining why this technology is so important.

Thanks to funding from the Isle of Man Anti-Cancer Association, we have been able to run regular participatory music workshops on our Oncology Unit. Led by professional cellist Georgina Aasgaard, we have seen our children and young people take part in music making, song writing, learning to play a wide range of instruments such as keyboard and ukulele and performing alongside Georgina. Music has also been used to help them de-stress and relax. As a result, we have seen significant improvements to children and young people’s anxiety levels, confidence and resilience, which have helped the whole family when spending long periods of time in hospital.
