UCLH's head and neck team are celebrating 20 years with a fundraising target of £20,000. This money will be dedicated to enhancing the lives of patients and improving the training and development of healthcare professionals across a wide multidisciplinary team (MDT) at UCLH. These efforts have empowered the hospital to provide state-of-the-art care, ensuring that patients facing complex head and neck conditions receive the best possible outcomes.

By supporting education and professional development, funds have directly contributed to advancing the knowledge of not only doctors but also nurses, speech and language therapists (SLT), dietitians, and other essential staff. Specialised training, seminars, and workshops have fostered a culture of learning, ensuring that every team member is equipped with the latest knowledge and skills to offer holistic care. This approach has led to better patient outcomes, as every MDT member plays a vital role in a patient’s recovery journey.

The fundraising has also allowed for the introduction of new technologies, improved patient support services, and the creation of educational resources that benefit both staff and patients. Thanks to the generosity of donors, UCLH has cultivated an environment where the exchange of ideas and continuous improvement is at the heart of patient care.

This ongoing commitment to excellence in head and neck care ensures that both patients and the wider medical team benefit from a wealth of educational opportunities and enhanced services, making a meaningful difference in the treatment and care of head and neck conditions for years to come.
