THE Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) at York Hospital has been given a boost thanks to a generous donation.
The Charity Best Beginnings provided the unit with a DVD called Small Wonders, a tool that will help families of sick and premature babies to be at the centre of their baby’s care in ways that are known to improve health outcomes.
Launched in hospitals in April of this year, the DVD shows a series of films that follow 14 families on their journey from birth, to first contact with their baby, to one year on.
