What’s On

This event is part of the Midlands Science Festival and will be hosted by the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland Paediatrics Society through a special pop up teddy bears hospital in Athlone. This event introduces children to healthcare in a fun and friendly way, helping to ease any worries they may have surrounding the hospital environment. Through a number of stations such as the emergency station, phlebotomy, or pharmacy, every teddy bear brought along will receive a wide range of care and a fun experience through the Teddy Bear Hospital. The event is suitable for children aged 2 and up, and they are welcome to bring any teddy bear that needs a short hospital visit and this event takes place in the Atrium of the Aidan Heavey Library, Church Street, Athlone.
