Catch Katie Rix and Dr Phil Peacock on @BBCWiltshire this morning, who have shared an update one week on from the opening of our new Children's Emergency Unit. 💙 In the first week, the team have already treated over 200 of Swindon and Wiltshire's youngest patients.🩺

The new unit has 13 cubicles, two high acuity bays and one resuscitation bay. It also includes a baby and breastfeeding room, a sensory play room for children with neurodiversities and a wellbeing room for younger patients arriving in mental health crisis.

Not everyone’s cup of tea a 0630 alarm for a trail half on a Saturday, but for sure it is a great way to start a weekend! Thank you for a supportive family who get up with me!

So better result than I could ever have imagined! Lovely few days and yes when you are not running and staring at the ground or the back of other runners, it is a beautiful place to be! Thank you so all who have supported me and for all the sponsorship! Over £600 raised so far!
