We, the 10th potential officers course of the Irish Defence Forces are running a charity event In aid of the ICU unit in the Coombe Hospital. The event will be a FREE 2k Kid’s Fun Run / Obstacle Course on the 27/2/19. In the month leading up to the Fun Run our physical training instructors from the military will be working with schools, in order to spread awareness of children's fitness and wellbeing. This event is to allow us to contribute whatever we can to the purchase of a new medical simulator, called Paul. Paul is the world’s most advanced premature baby clinical simulator, he is the most accurate recreation of a preterm baby. Each and every year, approximately 1,200 babies are admitted to the ICU unit in the Coombe Hospital. Unfortunately emergencies do occur and when they do, they are life or death situations, these situations cannot easily be used as training opportunities. And like most things, the more you practice, the more experience you gain. We want to provide the opportunity for healthcare professionals to develop and maintain critical clinical skills in a simulated environment. The cost of Paul is €75,000, however we will take any donations no matter how small. And please remember every penny help’s.
