We need your help to raise £65,000 to buy a Digital Swallowing Workstation for young patients at Chelsea & Westminster Hospital.  This will revolutionise the way babies and children are diagnosed and treated who have swallowing difficulties. 

This state of the art equipment offers the most comprehensive insight and understanding of a patient’s swallowing process currently available in the world.  This is the first swallowing station available in a children’s hospital in the whole of UK. 

Out of £90,000 needed to purchase this new piece of equipment, to date the GULP Appeal has raised £25,000.  We require a further £65,000.

The value of the information the specialists will receive from this new medical equipment will significantly improve the lives of the babies and children they treat as follows:

• Instant access to results eliminating repeat appointments
• Earlier diagnosis leading to more immediate treatment
• Very accurate insight understanding of the swallowing problem which could avoid surgery
• Earlier weaning off feeding tubes
• Elimination of exposure to x-rays
• Assessment in the Neonatal Unit reducing the chance of infection
