We have some incredible supporters at Barretstown and Fleming Medical are just that.
Since 2010, Fleming Medical has been donating medical supplies to Barretstown’s onsite Med Shed. The “Med Shed” is the camps Medical Centre, it is designed to be a sheltering, friendly environment to provide care for minor injuries, general paediatric problems, and administer oral medications including oral chemotherapy, IV push chemotherapy and factor infusions.
Barretstown rebuilds the lives of children affected by childhood cancer and their families through a medically endorsed, activity-based programme.
Volunteer doctors and nurses from around the world join Eimear Kinsella, Nursing & Family Liaison Director and for each session during the summer.
Mark Fleming, MD of Fleming Healthcare said “We are delighted to again donate to the Med Shed at Barretstown, the work that Eimear and the team do there is fantastic, it’s hard believe we have been working with the team for the last 9 years!”.
