Welcome to Martha Care

Martha Care has been set up to support parents and families of children who have been admitted to the Barbara Russell unit at Frenchay hospital in Bristol.

Frenchay hospital provides treatment to seriously ill or injured children from all over the South West, from Cornwall to Gloucestershire and all the counties in between. 
Martha Care intends to support all those families with children admitted to the ward who will be in hospital for longer than 2 weeks and who have to return to the hospital after they have been allowed to go home for whatever reason.

We hope, that with enough support from people like you, we will be able to support families in other hospitals too.

Could your family have benefited from extra support whilst in Frenchay? Tell us your story, just like Evie Mae Parker from Cornwall.
