The new Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne has been open for a short while now so it was great to be able to see the new clinic where children are being helped to get dry at night. It is a huge improvement on the small office that was in the old hospital so we congratulate the team there on having a very functional and impressive facility that helps hundreds of children each year. The following photos were taken last week and show how the Ramsey Coote Alarms and bed-pads are stored and cleaned. The first photo shows the impressive cupboard space for storage. The second photo shows a chair that is used as a practice toilet and the final photo, shows the facilities used to clean and air dry the bed-pads.

We would like to wish all our friends, clients and suppliers a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. It is hard to comprehend that yet another year has gone. We have had a busy time as we attended the American Academy of Pediatric meeting in October and the Continence Foundation of Australia Meeting in November this year. It was worthwhile for us as we met with some of our wonderful clients and also met some new practitioners who are keen to help children become dry at night. We will be closed from Wednesday 21st december 2011 and re-open on Monday 9th January 2012. We are looking forward to 2012 with great enthusiasm so please contact us if you would like any assistance in the New Year.

Congratulations to the Shani Hill and the team at Barwon Health for getting support to purchase some new Alarms from the Leopold Lions Club. If you need any information to help you get some sponsorship please let us know. The clipping from the local newspaper can be seen below.

Welcome to Ramsey Coote Instruments

It is the end of the financial year and we have been busy for the first half of the year with meetings in Brisbane, Sydney, Nambour and Las Vegas (National Kidney Foundation).  It seems that wherever we go there are practitioners really interested in getting information about helping children become dry at night.    You will notice a new name on our Links which is Dr Sue Bettison. Dr Sue has a new book on toilet training for children with autism or intellectual disabilities and this can be accessed at  www.learn2do.net .  Please check it out as it may help you develop your knowledge for helping these special children.

Bedwetting is an issue that is not often spoken about in public so it was terrific to see the article in the June 15th Melbourne Herald Sun that gives parents information that they can get help for their children.  See below if you wish to read the article.

Ramsey Coote Instruments will be attending the American Academy of Pediatrics and will be at stand 1413 so please come and see us if you are there.    If you are parent and not a practitioner then please contact us to find a practitioner that can provide help for your child to get dry at night.
