    CEO UPDATE 25 January 2021 | 25 Kohi-ta–tea 2021 Scan, scan, scan – everywhere you go When did you last go to the supermarket? What day was it? And what time did you enter and leave the store? When did you visit the playground with the kids? Can you recall whether you scanned in the last time you visited a café, the chemist or library? The announcement yesterday of a community case of COVID-19 in a returnee after they’d left managed isolation is a sobering and timely reminder that we can’t let our guard down – we need to keep up all the good habits that served us well last year. COVID-19 is an extremely tricky virus to manage, as we’ve seen overseas and here in New Zealand. Thankfully this person was diligently using the app everywhere she went. It’s so important to use the COVID Tracer app to scan QR codes and to have the Bluetooth functionality turned on. Turning on Bluetooth functionality will allow you to receive an alert if you have been near another app user who tests positive for COVID-19. If you haven’t already done so, download the COVID Tracer app today, turn on Bluetooth and scan or keep a written record of where you go and when, and who you are with. It’s also important to stay home if you are unwell, maintain stringent hygiene practices, including washing and drying your hands and cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or use your If you’ve been travelling in Northland recently, you can check here for elbow.

  • Radio Lollipop Is Unique
    Radio Lollipop is unique. It’s exciting. It’s stimulating. It’s entertaining... and it’s for children in hospital! ☺ What is Radio Lollipop? Radio Lollipop is an international children’s charity, which provides Care, Comfort, Play and Entertainment to sick children in hospital and their families. It is run entirely by volunteers who operate an in-house radio station and undertake fun play activities on the wards with the children! We pride ourselves on being professional with volunteers who are conscientious, reliable and prepared to make a weekly commitment. Radio Lollipop is FUN but professional. ☺ Where did it start? Radio Lollipop originated in 1978 at Queen Mary’s Hospital for Children in Carshalton, Surrey in the United Kingdom. Designed to bring the joy of entertainment to sick children, the idea captured the imagination of the world, so that now there are Radio Lollipops located in United Kingdom: Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Manchester; New Zealand: Auckland and Middlemore; Australia: Perth, Fremantle, Joondalup, ourselves in Brisbane, Logan and Gold Coast, and in the USA: Miami and Houston. ☺ When does it operate? The station and ward activities operate: Mater Children's Hospital Logan Hospital Monday - Friday 5.30 pm - 7.30 pm Monday - Wednesday 5.30 pm - 7.30 pm Saturday 2.30 pm - 5.00 pm Gold Coast Hospital Wednesday & Thursday Saturday ☺ What do volunteers do? Each volunteer works on the wards with the children reading stories, playing games, helping with craft activities and competitions. But most importantly we provide companionship and a friend to talk to. Play serves as a means of alleviating boredom, stress, anger and fear felt by a child during their hospital stay.

  • Everyone Can Help Radio Lollipop and the Sick Children in Hospitals Around the World
    Media release: Everyone can help Radio Lollipop and the sick children in hospitals around the world What people say about us: “Radio Lollipop is not a frilly add-on. It is really helpful clinically - a calm child recovers better …every member of staff and parent and child think it is fantastic…” Madeline Ismach, 2007 Head of Psychosocial Services, Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, London Our Mission: Radio Lollipop is an international children's charity providing care, comfort, play and entertainment to sick children in hospital. Our Vision: To reach every child in hospital – anywhere, any time Our History: The Radio Lollipop service was founded in the UK in 1979 as a one-off project. After more than 38 years as an entirely volunteer organisation Radio Lollipop has grown to include over 10,000 volunteers operating in 32 hospitals in 5 countries. We operate satellite stations in number of suburban/regional hospitals. Since 1979 Radio Lollipop volunteers have directly helped over 5 million sick children in hospitals and reached over 13 million people worldwide. Our Objectives: To provide care, comfort play and entertainment for children in hospitals everywhere. Our Opportunities: 1. Modern hospital design is focusing on providing single-bed wards. This further isolates children and underscores the growing and continued need for Radio Lollipop and our play volunteers to help sick children connect to the world outside their ward. 2. To achieve our vision of reaching every child, everywhere we need to be flexible. We can deliver Radio Lollipop in a number of ways: a. Radio Lollipop Full service; an in-hospital radio station plus volunteers for ward visiting and one-to-one play with the children.
