Best Beginnings Funding Success
11 May 2011
Best Beginnings has been awarded up to £170,000 from the Department of Health's Innovation, Excellence and Service Development Fund. This money will be used to support the 'Practioners and Parents Champions Project'.
This innovative project employs a full-time time nurse for two years in a neonatal unit in an area of disadvantage to use Small Wonders effectively. The Nurse's role will be both to train and educate staff as a 'Practitioner Champion' and to recruit parents from the local community to act as 'Parent Champions'.
The article below was in the Ham & High newspaper on May 5th 2011 and discusses the successful grant.
