The Critical Care Unit at Royal Cornwall Hospital is a specially staffed and equipped ward to closely monitor and treat patients with life-threatening conditions or who need specialist treatment because one or more of their body systems, such as their heart, lung or kidneys, are not working properly.
Our team is made up of dedicated and experienced doctors, nurses and other health professionals. We aim to give our patients not only the best treatment, but also to care for them as individuals.
We have already been able to purchase items such as:
* A simulation training mannequin to enable our team to be trained and educated in preparation for what can be very difficult and highly stressful caring scenarios.
* Fans for each bed space to further provide a comfortable environment for our patients and their families.
* Equipment for the relative room to enable visitors to stay near to their loved ones while being able to prepare a snack or drink or to have a break.
With your continued support we hope to be able to provide much more additional equipment which we know will ultimately make a real difference to the patients in our care.
Thank you, from all of the Critical Care Team.
