Information booklets for carers who play a critical role in this journey through the care and support they offer to loved ones who also might need support at times.

The Little Journey app has been designed by healthcare professionals, children and their parents for the sole purpose of improving how we provide medical information to families about hospital. It was created with the aim of reducing any anxiety you or your child may have, by familiarising you with what may happen and the team looking after you. Information is delivered to children and their parents based on the findings of research studies performed in the UK and abroad.

Shout is the UK's first and only free, confidential, 24/7 text messaging support service for anyone who is struggling to cope.

As a digital service, Shout has become increasingly critical since Covid-19, being one of the few mental health support services able to operate as normal at this time.
