If you work with infants on the neonatal unit (particularly EoE folk but all welcome) and would like to learn a bit about why neonatal feeding can be a challenge, join our virtual study day and hear from our amazing EoE teams about their work to support these infants

Super work by the team raising awareness of voice and voice disorders yesterday for #WorldVoiceDay

In the movie Taken, Liam Neeson famously explains that he has “a very particular set of skills.”

So do newborn babies.

We know these inborn skills as reflexes - and in this video we’re seeing one of three interrelated reflexes designed to help newborns find nourishment.

Today marks International HIE awareness day. Hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy may be diagnosed if your baby’s brain does not receive enough oxygen and/or blood flow around the time of birth. We know this can seem really scary and we’re here to help > [email protected]

Brilliant research by Grace Kromm and team! Much more to come to help grow our understanding so we can provide better support SLTs in Neonatal Care CEN Sarah Edney @peeps-HIE EoeNeonatalODN Jane Fenton-Smith Rebecca Chilvers 💙

Sarah is such a key member of our service - inpatient, outpatient & VFSS!
A key task in VFSS is preparing food & drinks with contrast so we can assess swallowing - and Sarah is the mixing Queen!
Great to have her support with #SwallowAware2024 as well as every other day

Our fantastic acute paeds team spending some time raising awareness of the eating, drinking and swallowing needs of the young people we work with Sophie Mount Lizzie Nash Maya Sabrena Lee

TOF-OA is a lifelong condition with a multitude of impacts. No one knows this better than the individuals and their families who live with it every day. Hearing Tom speak about his own experiences reminds us our care and management as HCPs is all about the person!

Being in hospital can be isolating. Friends Katherine and Siobhan from Essex found comfort in shared experience and felt empowered to care for their boys at home. Cambridge Children's Hospital aims to keep children in their own communities, wherever possible. Read more >
