Isle of Wight Neonatal Unit Receive Kind Donation
Jul 28th, 2010 | By Emma Wierzbicki | Isle of Wight News From The Island PulseIsle of Wight Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Receive Kind Donation
NHS Isle of Wight is very grateful to Shane Chessell from Currys Superstore in Newport for kindly donating new electrical items for relatives of babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
A new television has been donated for parents and siblings to use as it is common for them to spend long periods of time in the Unit waiting for their baby to wake ready for feeding time. Three radios have also been donated which will be placed in the cot areas to provide a soothing and calm environment for the babies, relatives and staff on the Unit.
This kind donation by Currys comes after similar items were damaged in the small fire in the unit in November last year.
Pamela George, NICU Sister at NHS Isle of Wight, said:
“We are absolutely delighted to receive the generous donation of a television and radios from Currys. These items will directly benefit the families of our babies here on the unit, helping to make their time on the unit that bit more comfortable.”
Shane Chessell, Deputy Manager of Currys, added:
“After receiving a letter from the Neonatal Unit staff, we were only too happy to donate these items and know that they will be put to good use.”
