Learning about health at the Teddy Bear Hospital

Over 350 children, aged between 4 - 10, brought their sick or injured teddies to the fifth annual Teddy Bear Hospital. Hosted by medical, physiotherapy and pharmacy students in the RCSI Paediatrics Society, this year's event was the biggest to date. The event is designed to help children to feel comfortable around doctors and hospitals and learn how to stay healthy through diet and exercise.
The session on Sunday is unique in Ireland, designed to host children living with special needs or experiencing chronic illness and their families in a smaller and quieter environment.
