Supporting the team

We support the everyday heroes at Evelina London – nurses, porters, researchers, doctors, play specialists, surgeons and everyone else!

Our devoted Evelina London team

Together, we’re boosting staff wellbeing

Our devoted Evelina London team work tirelessly to provide compassionate, trailblazing care for children and their families.

Together, we help to create a calm and comfortable work environment. For example, we’ve funded bright spaces for staff to rest and recharge after a tough shift.

We also make sure they have the skills they need to keep doing such a remarkable job. That’s why we invest in specialist training so they can learn from world-leading experts and explore innovative new ideas.

“I really believe spaces like this not only help support our wellbeing, but it’s also really nice to just feel valued for the job we do.”

Evelina London is one of the UK’s leading hospitals for children with heart problems. To help maintain that reputation, we’re making sure the expert team can train on the latest technology. Thanks to our generous supporters, we helped fund the Heartworks Simulator – an innovative piece of kit that staff use for practising heart scans on children. The simulator produces highly accurate imaging allowing training doctors to learn what to look for in heart diagnosis.

“The simulator allows us to fast-track trainees towards a vital practical skill. It’s one of the things that makes our actual care better and faster."

Together, we listen to what's really needed

Sky Ward at Evelina London takes a pioneering approach to treating children with heart problems. The unique design combines plenty of space with the latest facilities in a bright, friendly environment.

What’s more, the Evelina London team were involved in the whole process, helping design the ward to make it more comfortable for children, their families, and the teams who work there. This meant creating a playroom and a parents’ room  to help support the needs of cardiac and intensive care families.

‘It’s really important to have designated spaces for staff so they can step off the ward, get refreshed and relaxed, and come back ready to care for the patients,’ says Rhian Lakhani, Sky Ward matron. We’re so proud that we helped fund Sky Ward, creating a comfortable and comforting space for everyone.
