QE Hospital -

The Queen Elizabeth (QE) Hospital in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, is currently working towards the North East Autism Society’s Gold Autism Acceptance Award, which recognises organisations that are committed to making a real difference for autistic and neurodivergent individuals.
Wendy Oliver, a nursery nurse working in the QE hospital’s paediatric units - which covers children’s outpatient unit, children’s day unit and children’s A&E and short stay assessment unit - talks about how the hospital is adapting care to support autistic and neurodivergent children.
