💛 Rockinghorse Project Spotlight: Helping Make Hospital Visits Less Scary
As part of our continued support for Rockinghorse Children’s Charity, we’re highlighting another incredible project helping children across Sussex.
The AccuVein Visualisation Device at Worthing Hospital uses infrared technology to help medical teams locate veins more easily when taking blood from children.
For children who have difficult-to-find veins, a fear of needles, or require frequent blood tests, this can make a huge difference. The technology helps increase successful first-attempt blood tests, reducing pain, distress and anxiety for both children and their families.
It's a brilliant example of how specialist equipment can improve a child's hospital experience and help make difficult moments a little easier.
