@thegrandappealApr 22
Happy 25th birthday to the current Bristol Children’s Hospital building! 🎉 Today marks a truly momentous milestone as Bristol Children’s Hospital celebrates 25 years in its purpose-built home, alongside an incredible 160-year legacy of caring for babies, children and young people from across the region. What better way to kick off the celebrations than with cupcakes? To mark this special occasion, The Grand Appeal is delivering cupcakes for every member of hospital staff between Wednesday and Friday. To get the celebrations started, Wallace & Gromit will be delivering the first batch of birthday treats. 🎂 Bristol Children's Hospital opened in 2001 at a cost of £30 million and was the UK’s first purpose-built hospital designed exclusively for children, setting a new benchmark for paediatric care. An incredible £12 million of that total was raised by The Grand Appeal through its very first capital appeal, spearheaded by Wallace & Gromit with the support of @aardman. These cupcakes are just the beginning of the anniversary celebrations. 🌟 We’d love to hear your own memories of the children's hospital over the past 25 years! 💙

Ensure you order your repeat prescriptions before the Easter bank holiday. Check how much you have left and if you may run out. Ordering can be done quickly through the NHS App, at your GP practice or through a community pharmacy.

Your pharmacist can provide treatment or some prescription medicine, if needed, for seven common conditions - without you seeing a GP. Think pharmacy first and get seen by your local community pharmacy team. #AskYourPharmacist
