Madelaine Davies, 23, staff nurse at The Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust, has smashed her target after raising almost £2,000 to fund a bubble tube for the waiting area in the children’s emergency department.

She said: “We see lots of children every day in an environment that can cause a lot of stress for them and their families.

"With the introduction of a bubble tube to the department’s waiting room, we hope that the children will have a more pleasant experience with us and that it will help our children with sensory needs during their visit.”

A bubble tube is a sensory piece of equipment used to provide a relaxing, colourful, and joyful experience. The tubes provide multi-sensory feedback and stimulate the visual system.
