Raising money for

The Wessex Neurological Centre Trust

Charity Registration No. 286277

The Wessex Neurological Centre serves a population of 3 million throughout central southern England & the Channel Islands. Having successfully raised £80,000 to provide a dedicated 'critical care' ambulance, and £145,000 to fund the creation of a Paediatric Video-Telemetry Suite (used to assess children with severe Epilepsy as to their suitability for life-changing corrective surgery), our latest appeal aims to raise a further £200,000 for our most ambitious project to date - the Fluorescence Enhanced Neurosurgery Appeal. Surgeons at the Centre perform vascular neurosurgery (to repair aneurysms, haemorrhages and the like), on hundreds of patients each year. By equipping one of the Centre's operating theatres with a new, state-of-the-art operating microscope fitted with the FL800 Fluorescence system, most of these patients will benefit. Fluorescence Enhanced Neurosurgery enables surgeons to clearly visualise blood-flow in adjacent brain tissue, reducing the possibility of either a recurrence of the bleed, or of a post-operative stroke.

My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Smile4Rich is directly linked with the Southampton General hospital's specific neurological unit and does really important work raising funds to provide the most up to date equipment for this unit. The standard of care provided by the staff there is second to none, and so any help they can be given to provide and improve this service is invaluable. Thank you so much for anything you can donate towards this,

Ruth
