Members of the Paediatric team at DRI will be hosting a ‘Winter Wonderland’, featuring a bake sale, brass band and a panto production.
As well as specific events in and around the Women & Children’s hospital, the Children’s Observation Unit and Children’s Ward will be hosting crafts and face painting in the playroom as well as baking and reindeer food making in the diner. The Neonatal Unit will also enjoy a special visit from Santa on the day.
