🌍 World Patient Safety Day 2026
Promoting long-term health from the very beginning 🤍
Patient safety doesn’t stop at keeping babies safe in hospital. It’s also about supporting families with the knowledge and confidence to protect their baby’s health long after they leave us.
👶 Early nutrition & EBM
Breast milk provides important nutrition and protective factors for babies, particularly those born prematurely or unwell. Every drop matters, and we’re here to support families with expressing, feeding and breast milk wherever possible.
😴 Safe sleeping
Helping families understand safer sleep practices can reduce the risk of sleep related infant deaths. Always place baby on their back, in their own flat sleep space, with no pillows, duvets, cot bumpers or loose items.
🚭 Smoking cessation
A smoke free environment is one of the most important things we can do to protect a baby’s health. Stopping smoking or getting support to reduce exposure to second hand and third hand smoke, this can make a real difference to their health now and in the future.
🥦 Healthy eating
Building healthy habits starts early. Supporting families with positive, realistic advice around nutrition helps lay the foundations for lifelong health.
Small steps today can make a big difference to a baby’s future. 🤍
