The Brompton Fountain February Newsletter

Welcome to our February newsletter. January was a very busy month at Royal Brompton and Harefield hospitals, with the medical staff responding heroically to the ongoing crisis. The Brompton Fountain are proud to have remained on site throughout, providing support to them and their patients. We have been blown away by the generosity of our supporters: hundreds of boxes of donations have been sent in for us to pass onto frontline staff. On behalf of all these hardworking individuals, thank you!

COVID-19 Webinar

Our first webinar of 2021 covered COVID-19 and its effects on the patient experience. We heard from nurses, psychologists, pharmacists, and consultants (amongst others) who were able to reassure attendees that everything is moving in the right direction and that there are reasons to be positive. There were around 100 families who joined us for the presentation and Q&A sessions - we hope you all found it useful and we look forward to welcoming you to our next webinar on dental health (date to be confirmed).

If you would like to receive a summary of the webinar, please email isaacp@thebromptonfountain.org.uk

Heart Awareness Month

February is National Heart Awareness Month - throughout the month, we will be sharing your stories and raising awareness of the many different heart conditions that we come across. We’ll also look at some of the science behind these conditions. It’s a great opportunity to educate our networks about subjects that people can feel awkward discussing. If you have a story you would like us to post on our website/social media, please get in touch!

Events & Activities

The pandemic has not stopped us putting on activities for the Brompton Family! From escape rooms to painting workshops, it has been great to be able to check in with everyone and to have some fun as well. We have several more events planned for February:

Wednesday 10th February @ 5pm - Vocal Beats musical Facebook livestream
Sunday 21st February @11am / 1pm - Family Face-Painting *SOLD OUT*
Sunday 28th February @ 3pm - Trailblazers Bake-Along (for current and former patients aged 13-25 years old)

Don’t worry if you missed out on the face-painting - we will be arranging additional sessions in future due to their popularity, and those on the waiting list will be given priority.
