All those concerned with the welfare of sick children, both in hospital and in the community, have an important birthday to celebrate this year. NAWCH, an independent voluntary organisation, was started 30 years ago as a partnership between parents and professionals who were committed to improving the welfare of children in hospital. In the early 60s little emphasis was placed on the emotional needs of sick children and many hospitals restricted parental visiting to a few hours a week.
所有关心患病儿童福利的人,无论他们是在医院还是社区工作,今年都有一个重要的生日要庆祝。NAWCH是一个独立的志愿组织,它成立于30年前,是家长和专业人士之间的合作项目,致力于改善住院儿童的福利。在20世纪60年代早期,患病儿童的情感需求很少受到重视,许多医院将家长探视时间限制在每周几个小时。
