Supporting the Neonatal Unit at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, you will help to collect loaned out breastfeeding equipment from discharged patients in the community. Number of breastfeeding pumps to be collected can vary, but the unit supports patients across the Lothians, Borders and Fife. We can be entirely flexible around your availability – e.g., collection in one day, or split across 2-3 days a month.
The nature of loaned out breastfeeding equipment varies between families, but we know that some equipment may need to be collected from the Lothians, Borders and occasionally Fife. We are happy to work around your availability but flexibility is key. Equipment needs to be returned to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh hospital, EH16 4SA.
