Is your child’s Teddy in need of their regular check-up?
On Saturday the 14th of August students studying Medicine at the University of Newcastle in conjunction with John Hunter Children’s Hospital will be operating a hospital for Teddy Bears. Between 10am and 3pm children are encouraged to bring their favourite soft toy along to Civic Park Newcastle to be checked by the Teddy Doctors, receive any necessary medical treatment (tickles, cuddles, bandages, stitches) and receive their very own medical record.

This FREE event promises great entertainment for families with a fully functional tent hospital suitable for children of all ages. This new community initiative is aimed at improving the interaction between doctors and children. Students hope to reduce some of the fear experienced by children when visiting the doctor by providing a relaxed, fun and positive medical experience. All teddy bears are welcome- none too big, too playful, too ticklish. For more information see www.unms.org.au or contact the University of Newcastle Medical society [Lulu Ma on O421772290]
