Previously there weren’t any specific resources used routinely to support a child’s oral health. ‘Katie Bear Goes to the Dentist’ and ‘Dental Care for Children with CHD’ will be given to young patients with CHD and their families at clinics across the region. 2/3

The oral health of these children is really important as they are at an increased risk of developing bacterial infections such as infective endocarditis This was a great collaborative project, thank you to all involved! Jenny Owen

Rotational roles Leeds Children's Hospital are a brilliant way for new nurses to build up a broad range of skills in their first 18 months of practice. Charlotte is spending 6 months each on PICU, Neonates and Ward L51 Leeds Congenital Heart Unit. Thank you Charlotte for sharing your experience!
