To help our young patients when they arrive at our Children's Units we want to make them feel as relaxed as possible. This not only helps the children but the family and staff as well.

We decorate our Children's Wards and Departments with bright, colourful walls and supply toys for them to play with. It's thanks to our wonderful donors and fundraisers, that we have been able to transform the cold clinical wards into welcoming environments for the 120,000 young patients we see every year.

Each year we care for thousands of babies some of whom are born up to four months early and weigh as little as one pound.

An average of one in ten newborn babies need the support of the neonatal units across Good Hope and Heartlands. The unit also takes babies from across the whole region. The Neonatal Unit provides 24-hour care using dedicated breathing machines, incubators and state-of-the-art monitoring machines.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK with one woman diagnosed every 10 minutes.

Around 55,000 women and 400 men are diagnosed every year in the UK, that’s why we’re doing all we can to help breast cancer patients across Birmingham, the West Midlands and beyond while they are going through their treatment. From mobile screening units to try and catch cancer early to cold caps that help prevent hair loss.
