RCSI’s 8th annual Teddy Bear Hospital will be back in person this year! Our committee and new Mascot Cara is so excited to meet you all in person again at Teddy Bear Hospital on April 15th and 16th. Teddy Bear Hospital will be held at the RCSI 123 St.Stephens Green campus in the Exam hall. Teddy Bear Hospital is a free event which aims to alleviate childhood fears about healthcare environments and increase health literacy in school aged children. This event is aimed at children aged 4-10 though children outside those ages are encouraged to come if parents feel it would be of benefit or if a family wish to attend with older siblings. Older children for whom this event would be developmentally appropriate are welcome to the Saturday session where we will have a higher ratio of volunteers to children.The event is volunteer led and run by medical students, physiotherapy students and pharmacy students all from the Royal College of Surgeons. Our students are all interested in working with children and in providing a fun interactive experience for all who attend. The event will consist of a number of stations for your Teddy to visit. We encourage all children to attend with their teddy so that the teddies can get their annual check up, fix up any rips or tears, and learn how to keep healthy. There will be 12 different stations that teach children and their teddies about different aspects of healthcare such as, surgery, food and nutrition, first aid and so much more! Watch our promo video here: https://youtu.be/RJuvk7Ud1mUAs at all of our Teddy Bear Hospital events we always have a charity we will raise funds for on the day. This year is no different and we will be raising funds for Barretstown. Barretstown is a non-profit serious fun camp for children with cancer and other serious illnesses. Their mission is to rebuild the lives of children affected by serious illness, and their families, through a life changing Therapeutic Recreation programme in a safe, fun, and supportive environment.To make a small donation please choose an amount to pay for your ticket. All proceeds from the event will be in aid of Barretstown. No donation is required however to attend so please avail of a free ticket if you so choose.We will also have cash donation as an option on the day. Those who make a donation to Barretstown (in person or online) will be entered into a raffle prize draw to have the chance to win various prizes such as: 2 Ed Sheeran tickets, food baskets, restaurant vouchers and so much more!
