About us
Supporting the Neonatal Unit at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford.
In the UK, 1 in 10 babies need specialist care at birth. SSNAP supports sick & premature babies and their families in the Newborn Care Unit at the John Radcliffe Hospital.
Imagine your newborn baby needing specialist care at birth. Instead of those very special days getting to know your baby as a family, you’re catapulted into an unfamiliar world of incubators, wires, medical tests and interventions.
While your baby has specialist treatment at the John Radcliffe Hospital, we provide vital emotional and practical support to families, both during their hospital stay and after discharge through our Little SSNAPlings groups. We also help fund equipment for the unit, invest in training for NHS staff, and support research projects—all to ensure the best possible care for sick and premature babies and their families.
“The work that SSNAP does is so vital and so important and you just never know when you or a family member or friend will need to access the facilities.” - Clare
