Teddy Hospital

The Teddy Hospital at the children's hospital helps to prepare children in hospital for surgery, scans and other worrying procedures.

The dedicated Play Team work tirelessly to help children feel less anxious, worried or upset about these difficult medical procedures, which even adults can find stressful.

Now, we're taking the incredible impact of the Teddy Hospital on the road, offering visits to children in school and nursery to teach them more about hospital and people who help us.

Since launching in 2023, demand for Ted-ucation has grown significantly, with over 500 sessions being delivered to schools and nurseries. 352 educational establishments have hosted a session, including those supporting children with additional needs.

Due to the high volume of bookings, Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity have recently recruited volunteers to help deliver sessions and hand out ‘Ted-ical Degree’ certificates, enabling the charity to reach as many children as possible.

The Teddy Hospital experience has been described by schools and nurseries as ‘a highly recommended resource’, ‘phenomenal experience’ and ‘fantastic with the kids’.

Your pupils will be able to ask our resident 'doctors' anything about the Royal Hospital for Children, which our donations support, and what a stay in the hospital is like for children just like them. All children who take part will receive a special 'Tedical Degree' certificate, and we've already handed out 24,000 of these so far up and down the country!
