Teddy Bear Hospital at Model PS

An innovative ‘Teddy Bear Hospital’ saw local school pupils get the unique opportunity to get ‘hands-on’ with medicine this week – in a creative bid by local aspiring paediatricians to alleviate young children’s fear of doctors and the hospital in an inspiringly relatable way. Christian Bennison is part of the Child Health Society at Magee University and came up with the innovative idea of running a Teddy Bear Hospital for children this week, with the Society of volunteers going out to visit Primary One and Primary Two classes at Model School on Northland Road.
