achievements
ofthe charity
during the year|||One ofour key aims is to ensure continued
close collaboration
with our
referring
hospitals across our region in order to support
them
in the initial
stabilisation
and management
ofthe critically
ill child. We do this by||| ||||providing a comprehensive
outreach
education
programme
in conjunction||| ||||with|our NHS partners.|| ||||Since April 2020 all of the outreach sessions have been delivered||| ||||virtually||offering shorter more frequent sessions, which has been well| ||||received by our district general hospitals.||| ||||The|scope of the education
programme
provided
by CATS has increased|| ||||dramatically
with use ofvirtual platforms
which has facilitated
many more||| ||||doctors||and nurses being able to attend our sessions.| ||||The|charity supported
the purchase
ofan online package "Slido" used to|| ||||support||our education
programme
which is used consistently
in Ihe| ||||education
we provide.||| ||||What we have managed to deliver has been incredible
