:05:37. > :05:43.It started with the idea to put all children's care under one roof,
:05:44. > :05:49.rather than split across two sites, the Radcliffe Infirmary and the JR.
:05:50. > :05:51.It means that all of the children's things
:05:52. > :05:53.can be brought together, so that we have children's radiology, play
:05:54. > :05:57.therapists, an enormous amount of things that are dedicated
:05:58. > :06:01.You walk into this space and immediately you know that you
:06:02. > :06:07.Families have been at the heart of its design since the beginning,
:06:08. > :06:10.choosing paint colours, naming and labelling the wards,
:06:11. > :06:13.with boys wanting a sport theme, girls wanting cuddly animals,
:06:14. > :06:17.so it's ended up somewhere in between.
:06:18. > :06:20.And to make the idea a reality, ?15 million
:06:21. > :06:26.In the past decade, the hospital has looked after half a million children
:06:27. > :06:30.from newborns to teenagers, served more than 4,000 meals
:06:31. > :06:37.And today some of the very first patients are back to celebrate
:06:38. > :06:44.The best thing about it is the staff and the nurses.
:06:45. > :06:47.We came here when Fred was a week old.
:06:48. > :06:50.We stayed here for seven weeks and they were amazing.
:06:51. > :06:55.They are caring, they were there for when we
:06:56. > :07:10.I was in another hospital, but then I got moved here,
:07:11. > :07:17.And Serena joins us now from the party.
:07:18. > :07:25.Serena, the hospital's had some high profile support this week.
:07:26. > :07:32.Is royal support in fact. I had in my hand a letter from Kensington
:07:33. > :07:35.Palace, capping the Duchess of Cambridge. She is written saying she
:07:36. > :07:41.would like to congratulate the hospital on its milestone as you
:07:42. > :07:47.read lent her support to the fundraising appeal. That appeal to
:07:48. > :07:52.raise ?2 million. Let me introduce you to Zoe Pooley who is a major in
:07:53. > :07:58.here. A huge milestone today. What does the future hold? We are seeing
:07:59. > :08:02.more families all the time, the children we treat have an increasing
:08:03. > :08:06.range of problems and we need to meet those needs in the NHS and with
:08:07. > :08:12.the extra things that make it comfortable for them. The extra
:08:13. > :08:16.things really strike home. Everyone talks about their love they have for
:08:17. > :08:22.this place. What makes it so special? Supported that opened this
:08:23. > :08:26.hospital years ago and it has grown and evolved since then. On the
:08:27. > :08:30.fabulous teams that work here, the specialists and experts. It is a
:08:31. > :08:37.great place to work with a lovely atmosphere. Your work in children's
:08:38. > :08:43.care for 24 years. You must love it. Yes, I am available to have this
:08:44. > :08:48.job. The children are great find. None had the same, they are all
:08:49. > :08:53.different. No day is probably the same either. Never boring. We will
:08:54. > :08:56.be continuing our look next week to mark the anniversary of the
:08:57. > :09:01.Children's Hospital. Tomorrow we'll be looking at the pioneering work of
:09:02. > :09:03.the craniofacial unit. One of the only unit of the tide in the world.
:09:04. > :09:07.The overuse of antibiotics was mainly to blame for a serious
:09:08. > :09:10.stomach bug outbreak in hospitals around ten years ago,
:09:11. > :09:14.according to new research by Oxford University.
:09:15. > :09:17.The outbreak of C-difficile in 2006 led to deep cleaning and other
:09:18. > :09:20.infection control measures by the NHS.
:09:21. > :09:24.Scientists found that cases of C-Diff only fell when use
:09:25. > :09:28.of certain antibiotics were reduced and used in a targeted way.
:09:29. > :09:33.When that happened, there was an 80% fall in infections.
:09:34. > :09:38.This information definitely helps us to take a proportionate approach to
:09:39. > :09:42.managing infections which clearly consist of doing good hygiene
:09:43. > :09:47.practices and, in some instances, we get a huge benefit
:09:48. > :09:50.from restricting antibiotics, and we need to learn
:09:51. > :09:53.more about this, but this is a lovely example
:09:54. > :09:59.This week, people in and around Milton Keynes are celebrating
:10:00. > :10:04.It's easy to brand a new town as all concrete and no culture.
:10:05. > :10:08.But from its very inception, art was a big focus,

:10:35. > :10:37.Depicted as a stage set here, the idea is for
:10:38. > :10:40.you to go out and find the originals yourself.
:10:41. > :10:43.I think art is always about thinking about what might come next.
:10:44. > :10:46.Milton Keynes is also a town that was following a similar thought
:10:47. > :10:50.process, how can you construct a space that will also work 50 years
:10:51. > :10:53.I think it makes sense that integrated
:10:54. > :10:56.art is in the fabric of its open architecture.
:10:57. > :11:00.These concrete cows from 1978 have to be the most famous
:11:01. > :11:04.or infamous piece of public art here in Milton Keynes.
:11:05. > :11:06.But over the years, there has been far
:11:07. > :11:10.more going on in the art scene here than these brutalist beasts.

:11:39. > :11:42.At first, they were a bit sort of, Oh no, we don't want to...
