Teddy Bear Hospital (TBH) is an international project, whose aim is to reduce childhood anxiety about medical environments, procedures, and professionals. TBH exists at 21 Medical Schools in the UK at 8 Medical Schools in Australia and 2 medical schools in Ireland, one Medical School in Israel, NUIG and more recently the University of Limerick. Unlike other projects in the country, St George’s University of London TBH is not operated as a project under Medsin, it is considered its own society. It is run by a dedicated committee of 6-8 people and has trained over 400 Teddy Bear Doctors, each of whom has been CRB checked and holds an NSPCC Child Protection Awareness Certificate. Projects run by TBH at St George’s, University of London:Talks/lectures promoting child health (FGM Talk) Fundraising (Fun Run, Harrod’s donations for Paeds wards) Puppet Shows ClinicsThe clinics are the main focus of the society and form the main method of achieving its aim. Clinics have been run for schools, beaver scouts, brownie groups and Student Action for refugees’ after-school club in South West London since March 2009 and regularly receive outstanding feedback. The society currently offers 12 stations for clinics. They use a creative and multi-sensory approach, which is inclusive for all children. The majority of the time is spent with the children doing various tasks, for example building a large jigsaw of the skeleton, or learning how to use stethoscopes. Aspects of the stations’ compliment or cover parts of the KS1/KS2 curriculum, in particular, PHSE. Children are asked to bring along a teddy tear to the clinic on which new skills are learned and practiced. If the Teddy Bear is already sick, its even better! SGUL Teddy Bear Hospital ran the first Community Day in 2018, held at St George’s, University of London, where members of the public were invited to attend with their children to get involved and explore the stations on offer. It was successful in providing another method for TBH to engage the local community in Tooting in life at the hospital and university.
