Due to national public sector industrial action on Wednesday 14 October, all outpatient department (OPD) appointments and some elective (non-emergency) procedures at Children’s Health Ireland will be cancelled.

Families will receive a text if their appointment is cancelled, and CHI will contact families to reschedule. Families with urgent appointments that are going ahead will be contacted directly.

Emergency care will remain available for children who need emergency medical attention. Our teams will continue to care for children staying in hospital.

For advice on what to do if your child is unwell, please visit link in bio.

We understand this may be concerning for families and we will reschedule cancelled appointments as soon as possible. We apologise for the inconvenience caused.

This week was National Breastfeeding Week and the theme was:

“Every step forward: Strengthening support for babies and families.”

Did you know some benefits of breastfeeding include:

🦠 Protection against illness and infections
👶 Easy to digest and designed specifically for your baby
🏥 Breastfed babies often spend less time in hospital and have less chance being readmitted

Any amount of breastmilk, no matter how small, benefits your baby. Every drop makes a difference!

Breastfeeding can be a wonderful option, but we also know that every family’s feeding journey is different. For some parents, breastfeeding may not be possible, and that’s okay. What matters most is that babies are fed, loved, and cared for.

Whether you breastfeed, express, combination feed, or use formula, you’re doing your best for your baby 💛

This week is 💜

Palliative care isn’t only about end of life care; it is about improving quality of life for children and families living with life limiting conditions.

Reuben Fay, who attends CHI in Temple Street, his mum Nikita and music therapist Dr James Burns met with Fergal Bowers from RTÉ News to highlight the positive impact music therapy has brought to Reuben’s life.

Music therapy is not new in palliative care, but it raises awareness of the importance of psychosocial, relational, and family-centred care alongside medical care within the paediatric palliative setting.

“He benefits a lot from music therapy and although he is non-verbal, it helps him express what he likes and does not like.”
