Two COPARS volunteers usually visit the parents room once a
week during the evening to chat with parents, carers and
relatives who may wish to take a break from the routines of
hospital life. The ward staff kindly inform families of these visits.
Everyone is welcome. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Look out for news of visits on the ward notice boads or ask a
member of staff on C2. |

We would also encourage you to use the Guestbook to link up
with other parents who may have a similar experience. Share
your story, catch up on other peoples progress and share
messages of encouragement and sympathy. |
