We are shining a spotlight on the support offered by MBUs. A while ago we asked mums on the ward what they wish they knew before coming to the unit and tried to answer these questions in our podcast m.youtube.com/watch?v=9mKzpv…

Here are a few picture of our staff members let’s. Pets can be very therapeutic for many people. They are often mentioned when we talk about self soothe activities as something comforting to see, smell and touch. So it is important to celebrate pets can have in our life
