Best wishes for the festive and holiday season

A nine-metre high Christmas tree in Main Street, Christmas-themed learning activities and the festive season of song are just some of the ways we’re bringing the festive season to patients, families and staff to celebrate our first Christmas in the new Royal Children’s Hospital.
