Teddy Bear Hospital




The fifth annual Teddy Bear Hospital was announced this week. The event is to take place at NUI Galway from 28-29 January, when some 1,000 sick teddy bears will be admitted to the hospital, accompanied by their owners, 1,000 primary school children between the ages of three and eight.We are visitiing the event on Friday with the Infants and 1st Class.Hope that this event provides a great opportunity for our teddy doctors to explain how doctors work and to show the children that hospitals and medical procedures are not so scary.

On arrival at the Teddy Bear Hospital on campus the children will go to the waiting room, a play area filled with toys and games from Smyth’s Toys. Then the children and their bears will be seen by a team of teddy doctors and nurses who will decide if these much loved bears need to visit the specially designed Teddy X-ray or MRI machine. Ailing bears can avail of medical supplies from Boots. A Teddy Pharmacy will also be open stocked with healthy fruit from Total Produce.

Afterwards, the children can enjoy a bouncy castle and visit an Order of Malta ambulance, sponsored by Medisource. Entertainment will be provided throughout the day by NUI Galway’s Juggling Society and face painters.
