Poole hospital will proudly unveil a new Intensive Care incubator later today, thanks to a recent Blue Peter Appeal.

Thousands of children across the country have raised more than £2 million pounds through Bring and Buy Sales for BLISS, the National Charity For The Newborn.

Every day at least 100 babies in Britain are born too small or too early.

Upton Junior School in Poole is among those who helped the campaign with a bring and buy which raised £97.50.

The state of the art equipment costing £10,000 will be used to treat babies who need intensive care at birth at the Neonatal Unit of Poole Hospital.

Hundreds of tiny lives are helped every year with these vital pieces of equipment.

Every day at least 100 babies in Britain are born too small or too early. They all require a high level of special care to survive. Some weigh less than a bag of sugar and are so tiny they are small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. This incubator will give them the best chance of survival.
