Thinking of Oscar

On Thursday 19th June 2014 Oscar Noah Cole died. Oscar was in hospital being treated routinely for an infection but nobody imagined that he would not make a full recovery. As his parents, Hannah and David, watched over Oscar in hospital on the day that he died, standing there in disbelief, holding him in their arms until his heart beat his last beat, they made some promises to one another which th

ey are committed to. Hannah and David's intention from the outset was to identify a cause which went beyond their own tragedy to address issues of broader social interest and their primary measure of success will be the impact that they have collectively had in their lifetimes. The objectives for ‘Thinking of Oscar’ are:

The relief of sickness and promotion of the health of children, young people and their families whilst in hospital care across England by:

- Providing support and activities to children, their families and medical teams who strive to make their time in hospital as comfortable as possible.

- Providing funding for the development of research and development into and the provision of improved diagnostic techniques and technology.

- Providing increased access to relevant knowledge and data via the sharing of best practice and the application of technology. Listen to our Not Mini Adults Podcast -> https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/not-mini-adults-podcast-pioneers-for-childrens-healthcare/id1518659960
