Hospital staff have assisted those in their care to create gifts for their mums on mother’s day
Staff in the Ulster Hospital’s Children’s Unit have been busy preparing for Mother’s Day as they have helped their young patients create special arts, crafts and certificates for their Mums.
The Paediatric Team pulled out all the stops to ensure that Mums — who need to spend time in the Unit — will have their own memento to mark the day. South Eastern Trust Healthcare Play Specialist, Sharon Pauley explained how the arts and crafts were organised to ensure that families could still celebrate the special occasion together.
She said: “We wanted to create activities that would bring a little joy to our patients and their families while they are here with us in the Unit. We created cards and certificates to let patient’s Mums know how special they are and that they are valued,” said Sharon.

“We want to say a huge thank you to Staff Nurse, Donna Miller, who bought items for our flower vases to give to the Mums.
“And of course, we also want to wish all those who are marking the occasion, a very happy Mother’s Day.”
