Children’s clinicians from hospitals in Ukraine are being trained by NHS staff to help them to “prepare for anything” amid the ongoing Russian invasion.
Staff from University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust and five other trusts across England are giving their time and expertise throughout the four-week course on paediatric rehabilitation.
Participants will then return home to Ukraine to help children suffering from the physical, mental and emotional turmoil of war.
Martin Gargan, a consultant at Bristol Royal Hospital for Children, said: “They’re hopefully learning something from us and we’re learning something from them.”
