If you are helping a loved one prepare for going to hospital make sure they pack their medicines to take with them 💊 It’s important we have a complete record of what is being taken so the right medicine can be given at the right time and to help minimise waste.

Lucy has been spreading lots of sparkle in her fairy made gown, even more special is her gown was made by her Nana, one of our Fairies. Cowslip Fairy sent her make from Essex all the way to Edinburgh for Lucy to wear. @LothianChildren #pyjamafairies #charity

🎂 Wishing a many happy returns to Archie, who was recovering after his operation at the #RHCYP today (on his BIRTHDAY!) & got a big surprise when Sam and Ewan from @EdinburghRugby stopped by to see how he was doing. They were too late to share his toast though... 😉

Thank you 😍

That's 100 book bags on their way to children at the Royal Hospital for Children and Young People 🎄📚 no one wants to be in hospital at this time of year, so hopefully these will bring a little happiness in.
