More Teddies for Loving Care from Connaught Lodge
Midsomer Norton Freemasons from Connaught Lodge recently donated twenty-four TLC Teddies to Hope House Surgery in Radstock.
They were gratefully received by Practice Nurses Debbie Williams, Hollie Skese and Lucy Cotterill, who said that they were destined for use in the Friday morning child injection clinic.
Providing comforting teddies to help young children cope with difficult situations by calming them down, makes it easier for nursing and medical staff to look after them. It is also less distressing for the parents who may have to manage their upset child who is resisting treatment.
The TLC teddy has become an invaluable tool for medical professionals and a real comfort for children. As Nurse Debbie said, “the kiddies come into the clinic quite happy, then start to protest once they realise what’s going to happen! The teddies will certainly make treating a struggling child that much easier”.
