Quick Summary
Additional Context
A University of Nottingham-led project will bring 3D design and printing to children and young people taught in hospital education across England, and will study whether the activity can support their recovery. Funded by a Royal Society Science Community Grant and the Julia Rausing Trust, the three-year initiative will start in 25 schools, each of which will receive a 3D printer and staff training.
The project runs with The National Association for Hospital Education (NAHE). It covers hospital schools, medical pupil referral (MPR) units and Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) inpatient units. Professor Ruth Goodridge and Dr Simon Lawes of the University of Nottingham are leading it, with engineers and scientists from other UK universities volunteering to support schools loca
