DUBLIN, Nov. 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- WaterWipes® today announces
the winners of the fifth annual Pure Foundation Fund, which
celebrates the achievements of healthcare professionals (HCPs) and
departments working in maternity, neonatal and postnatal care.
This year's Pure Foundation Fund winners are the Liverpool
Women's Hospital Neonatal Team and the NICU Team at the Coombe
Hospital, Dublin, who received a
generous bursary of £10,000/€10,000 each for their departments to
continue to support their ongoing efforts to deliver exceptional
care to families and babies.
Giving parents and fellow HCPs the chance to say 'thank you' to
those who have gone above and beyond, WaterWipes® focused this
year's Pure Foundation Fund on HCPs who have helped care for babies
born prematurely or admitted into the NICU. Unlike previous years,
voters could nominate not just an individual, but also an entire
team or unit.
Jill Harrison, Clinical Lead
at the Liverpool Women's Hospital Neonatal Team, said of the
win:
"We're so thrilled by the news that we have won
this year's WaterWipes® Pure Foundation Fund. It's been a wonderful
boost for everyone on the team and a testament to everyone's hard
work and dedication."
Ann MacIntyre, Director of
Midwifery & Nursing at the Coombe Hospital, said of their
win:
"We are so delighted to receive the award, which we will use
to further expand our learning and knowledge on preterm behaviour.
When you see a tiny premature baby born weighing less than a bag of
sugar and the size of a 500ml bottle, you cannot fail to be moved
to pull out all the stops to get these babies to good health. Some
of these journeys are very long, so we get to know the parents. We
feel part of their family and they become part of the Coombe
family."
Brogan Chesters, Brand Acceleration Manager at WaterWipes®,
said:
"This year's Pure Foundation Fund nominations have truly
moved us, underscoring the invaluable impact of maternal, neonatal,
and postnatal healthcare on families in the UK and Ireland. We're thrilled to recognise and give
thanks to these unsung heroes with WaterWipes® bursary funds,
helping to advance care in these critical areas."
WaterWipes® received over 1300 nominations for this year's Pure
Foundation Fund. The worthy winners were reviewed by a panel
consisting of representatives from WaterWipes®, alongside UK
neonatal charity Bliss and the Irish Neonatal Health Alliance
(INHA).

About WaterWipes®
WaterWipes® was created by our founder Edward McCloskey after his newborn daughter
developed a nappy rash on her sensitive skin. After an extensive
search he couldn't find a baby wipe that didn't contain numerous
ingredients, so he decided to make his own. Many years later and
after a lot of hard work, testing, and scientific research,
WaterWipes® was born. Pure and gentle for the most delicate skin
but in the convenience of a wipe, WaterWipes® are purer than cotton
wool and water*.
*Cooled, boiled water.
About the WaterWipes® Pure Foundation Fund
WaterWipes® launched the Pure Foundation Fund in 2020, and since
then, has used it to celebrate and recognise the incredible work of
healthcare professionals involved in maternity, neonatal and
postnatal care. Healthcare professionals and expectant and new
parents are encouraged to nominate individuals who go above and
beyond to make a difference to the lives of parents and babies for
the chance to win a reward that powers forward their efforts.
Entries are reviewed by a panel consisting of representatives from
WaterWipes®, alongside UK neonatal charity Bliss, and the
