Paediatric registrars lend a helping hand

A team of paediatric registrars from hospitals across the East Midlands have enjoyed a day of volunteering at Over The Wall Camp.

The 26 registrars chose to support the charity, based at the former Ockbrook School, for their annual staff team building and wellbeing away day.

They cleared and cleaned one of the former school buildings and packed up ‘Seriously Fun Boxes’ of activities for the charity’s online programme, Camp in the Cloud.

Sally McCluskie, Over The Wall Camp’s clinical and recruitment director, explained the difference the team made:

“The registrars were absolutely fantastic. They were enthusiastic, got fully stuck in, and worked incredibly hard.

“They helped to organise a building that will be our temporary, yet fully functional, clinical space.

“Their support has saved us countless hours of work and brought us a big step closer to supporting children and families when they come to camp here next summer. This is a vital step while we continue fundraising for a purpose-built clinical centre.”
