Our support extends beyond emotional and practical care, we actively invest in the Paediatric Oncology Unit, ensuring children receive the highest standard of clinical care both in hospital and at home.

LATCH funds the purchase of specialised medical equipment and a range of clinical projects designed to make life on the ward more comfortable while enhancing treatment outcomes.

By helping to improve care on the ward and at home, we give families the peace of mind that their child is receiving the very best support at every stage of their treatment journey.

• LATCH recently funded key clinical personnel to attend the UK National Children’s Oncology Conference, ensuring they stay at the forefront of the latest treatments and care practices.

• We’ve funded the development of a Pill Swallowing School, which helps children master the essential skill of swallowing tablets, improving patients’ wellbeing, increases the effectiveness of treatments, and reduces costs for the NHS.

• LATCH has approved funding for specialised equipment that reduces the incidence and severity of oral mucositis—a painful side effect of cancer treatment. This equipment significantly improves the quality of life for paediatric oncology patients.
