For a child, coming to hospital can be a daunting experience, but the staff at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital ensure they are made to feel welcome and work hard to build friendships with their young patients. Alder Hey Children's Charity is pleased to have raised in excess of £338,000 in 2018 to fit out several of our treatment and consultation rooms with a range of distraction technology - light and film projection, surround sound, noise effects and music and character vinyl wall coverings - which is proven to reduce fear and anxiety in children. The iPad controlled software means patients can be given control of the space to trigger different projections, sounds and lighting. Here Cardiac Physiologist Sharon Clark tells us about the impact it has had on her and her young patients and explains why she wants every department to have this technology.

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.
