@TheForumAH @idigitalnhs Wow - how amazing was that?! 🤩 We had a very busy takeover day looking at only a small portion of the 350 jobs within the #NHS. We learnt so many fun things & it was amazing to bring you along with us. If you missed anything from the #ForumTakeover, check out from our summary 👇

@TheForumAH Alder Hey uses A LOT of digital systems to keep the hospital up & running 🏥 We went on a walk around with @idigitalnhs to make sure everything was working as it should. We even got to go to the helipad to see how young people come from the air ambulance into the hospital! 🚁

@TheForumAH Now let’s interview Lisa Cooper! 🗣️ Lisa is the Director of the Community and Mental Health division at Alder Hey, she supports us in a number of ways as she is our biggest fan 😄 Find out why she'd prefer to eat a bowl of live worms below! 🤢 @TheForumAH

Now, to Radiology 🦴 where we got to see different scans and machines. They all had funny names like 'MRI', 'CT' and 'ultrasound'. We don’t know what any of them stand for, but the team explained what they do and let us try them for ourselves. It was so cool! 😄

@TheForumAH We were starrrrvin’ so we visited catering to find out what happens behind the scenes of the hospital’s restaurant! 🧑‍🍳 We got to go into the kitchen & stock rooms & it was really nice to meet all the kind staff who help feed the whole hospital. We even got a nice snack! 😄

Next stop, physio and hydrotherapy (basically a big swimming pool!) 🏊‍♀️ We learnt a lot, tried some exercises and also looked at how staff support younger children to get in if they don’t like water! @AlderHeyPhysio

[🏥 Alder Hey 💙 @AlderHey]

Our next stop is the Executive office, where we interviewed John, Nathan & Kate 😃 We all really enjoyed this as we could ask all our burning questions, like how our voices influenced the 2030 strategy & what the future looks like 👀

[🏥 Alder Hey 💙 @AlderHey]

A bit about us... We're a diverse group of 8 to 18 year olds who use our voices to influence Alder Hey. We work together to help Alder Hey keep children and young people at the heart of everything they do. Also, we’re awesome! 😉✌️

Our first stop is theatres! 😷 We went into one of the many amazing theatres at Alder Hey where we got to have a closer look at what happens there. We wanted to do a head transplant, but they said no! ☹
