Dr Strickland founded our Centre in 1985 with one aim - the early, accurate diagnosis of cancer and other serious diseases, which saves lives. By remaining at the forefront of scanning technology, using the skills of world renowned consultants and highly trained staff, we've consistently achieved this aim. But we need your help to fund new scanners, costing upwards of £1 million. As an independent medical charity, we receive no government funding and rely on donations from our supporters to fund life-changing medical research and ensure patients have access to leading-edge scanning technology and high-quality care. Last year we carried out almost 15,000 scans and with your help we can continue helping patients.
