Family Support on the Unit

When you’re admitted to the Unit, the real world doesn’t stop. Bills still have to be paid, family members juggled and other responsibilities don’t go away.

We can help you navigate your way through this confusing and difficult time. Tiny Lives part-funds a Family Support Social Worker, Fiona Bell, who can offer practical advice on financial matters, benefit entitlement, communicating with your workplace and more. Fiona works to identify how best Tiny Lives can support you during this challenging time and is also an excellent shoulder for any other concerns – you can go to her with any worries, or just for a chat.

Fiona works on the unit and tries to catch up with every family to see if she can assist you in any way. On the off chance you haven’t bumped into Fiona yet and would like to have a chat with her, please speak with your nurse. You can also email her or call 07855143977. You can also contact Fiona’s colleague Vicky Gordon by email too, and her colleague Julie via email, or by calling 07787691286.

‘Fiona and Vicky were my rocks, not only whilst in special care but even throughout all hospital admissions with my daughter. Even after I sadly lost her they were amazing. They even visited me on a ward when my other daughter Aurora was poorly. They are beautiful, amazing souls!’
