Flinders Medical Centre

The Tiny Star Beads program at the Flinders Medical Centre is run by the Nurses of the Neonatal Unit, where they offer babies little rewards for their medical procedures in the form of unique beads.

Parents are met at the Intensive care staff base and escorted to the chapel, where beads are distributed each week. You are welcome to stay and chat with the staff and other parents during this time.

Please check the notice board in the Parent's Room for any meeting location and time updates.

During a long hospital stay, babies can go through many different medical procedures, some of which may be painful, and at times this can be upsetting for them and for their parents too. The beads, when strung together, will help to tell the story of each baby’s personal medical journey.

The string of beads will become a very special memento for the babies, and their families, and a symbol of pride and courage for all the challenges that they have overcome.
