Charity of the Month: PaNDR

Leathes Prior is delighted to be supporting the Paediatric and Neonatal Decision Support and Retrieval Service also known as PaNDR.

Recently celebrating their 5^th birthday, PaNDR are an NHS service providing critical care retrievals for neonates and children up to the age of 16 years requiring transfer from different locations across the East of England. In addition to specialist retrieval, they offer clinical advice to health professionals caring for all children, from extremely preterm infants up to 16 years of age. This is a really essential service, which operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, across 17 hospitals throughout East Anglia.

Along side the paediatric and neonatal services, PaNDR provides neonatal cot/maternity bed location services to facilitate the safe transfer of women to a maternity unit which can meet the specialist needs of their unborn baby.

Every baby or child that travels with PaNDR is given a Patch the Panda Bear teddy to travel with them and keep as a memory of their journey with the team.

Our donation to PaNDR is a small contribution to support this service and allow many more babies and children to be supported by the fantastic PaNDR Team.
