And we are back! Season 3 of #BESS has kicked off in 11 #PICU units across the UK, with 3 more joining shortly! A huge well done to all our site teams who have pulled together to re-open despite the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Bessie has been hard at work behind the scenes too!

Bessie Bear would like all her friends who were involved in BESS in any way, parents, nurses, research nurses, physios, doctors, LCTC, fundraisers, R&D staff, to take 5 minutes to do our survey. Thank You ! form.jotform.com/20071422622…
With Christmas just 2 days away and over 90 babies taking part in BESS, we hope that all our participants, their families and the site teams working so hard on our research have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We are excited to see what 2020 will bring for #BESS 🐻
