Happy 25th birthday to the current Bristol Children’s Hospital building! 🎉

Today marks a truly momentous milestone as Bristol Children’s Hospital celebrates 25 years in its purpose-built home, alongside an incredible 160-year legacy of caring for babies, children and young people from across the region.

What better way to kick off the celebrations than with cupcakes? To mark this special occasion, The Grand Appeal is delivering cupcakes for every member of hospital staff between Wednesday and Friday. To get the celebrations started, Wallace & Gromit will be delivering the first batch of birthday treats. 🎂

Bristol Children's Hospital opened in 2001 at a cost of £30 million and was the UK’s first purpose-built hospital designed exclusively for children, setting a new benchmark for paediatric care. An incredible £12 million of that total was raised by The Grand Appeal through its very first capital appeal, spearheaded by Wallace & Gromit with the support of @aardman.

These cupcakes are just the beginning of the anniversary celebrations. 🌟

We’d love to hear your own memories of the children's hospital over the past 25 years! 💙

Feeling unwell with vomiting or diarrhoea? You might have norovirus.
Most people feel better in about 2 to 3 days, but it can spread easily.
You can help stop the spread by staying at home for 48 hours after your symptoms clear.🧼

When a loved one is ready to leave hospital there are a few things family, friends or carers can do to help.

Please talk to the team planning their care if you think you can help in any way, as this may mean they can go home a few days earlier.❤️

Prostate cancer often develops slowly, so there may be no symptoms for many years, but it’s important to know what to look out for.

But if something doesn’t feel right, don’t wait – contact your GP practice. Early diagnosis can save lives.
