We are proud to announce this year’s healthcare heroes who have been awarded the WaterWipes® Pure Foundation Fund. This year’s winners are the Neonatal Team at Liverpool Women’s Hospital and the NICU Team at the Coombe Hospital, Dublin, who have received a generous bursary of £10,000/€10,000 for their departments, to continue to support their ongoing efforts in delivering exceptional care to families and babies.
Giving parents and fellow HCPs a chance to say 'thank you' to those who have gone above and beyond, WaterWipes® focused this year's Pure Foundation Fund on HCPs who have helped care for babies born prematurely or admitted into the NICU. Unlike previous years, voters could nominate not just an individual, but also an entire team or unit.
The Neonatal team at Liverpool Women’s Hospital received eleven nominations in total and were nominated for putting parents at the heart of the babies’ care and living and breathing family integrated care - “They understood that if we were nurtured and supported, we would better be able to help our baby. We owe our baby's life and our little family's future to this team…”
We’re so thrilled by the news that we have won this year’s WaterWipes® Pure Foundation Fund. It’s been a wonderful boost for everyone on the team and a testament to everyone's hard work and dedication.
The NICU team at the Coombe Hospital received a total of nine nominations and were nominated for “providing round-the-clock care with expertise and compassion”, and always making their patients “feel reassured” that their little ones were in the best hands possible.
We are so delighted to receive the award, which we will use to further expand our learning and knowledge on preterm behaviour. When you see a tiny premature baby born weighing less than a bag of sugar and the size of a 500ml bottle, you cannot fail to be moved to pull out all the stops to get these babies to good health. Some of these journeys are very long, so we get to know the parents. We feel part of their family and they become part of the Coombe family.
WaterWipes® received over 1300 nominations for this year’s Pure Foundation Fund. The worthy winners were reviewed by a panel consisting of representatives from WaterWipes®, alongside UK neonatal charity Bliss and the Irish Neonatal Health Alliance (INHA).
The work of healthcare professionals including midwives, doctors, nurses, surgeons, anaesthetists, obstetricians, neonatal professionals, and health visitors, is one of great care and support.
WaterWipes® are proud to recognise the work and efforts of these heroes with the fifth annual Pure Foundation Fund, which allows parents and colleagues to honour the great protectors involved in this journey.
This year's Pure Foundation Fund nominations have truly moved us. We’re thrilled to recognise and give thanks to these unsung heroes with WaterWipes® bursary funds, helping to advance care in these critical areas.
WaterWipes® would like to congratulate the Coombe Hospital and Liverpool Women’s Hospital and thank all those who nominated a great protector.
