Campaign to raise £50,000 for a neonatal ultrasound scanner · 7 August 2012

First Touch supports sick and premature babies cared for at St George’s neonatal unit in SW London. We fund state-of-the-art equipment and specialist staff training which are outside of the scope of NHS budgets, as well as a range of initiatives to support families during their stay on the unit.

Story

BIG NEWS!!! We've heard today that we are about to receive a cheque to enable us to reach our target! Thanks to everyone who has generously helped to fund this essential piece of equipment for the neonatal unit 12/12/12

We have a new fundraising initiative! We are seeking a massive £50,000 to fund a new state-of-the-art ultrasound scanner. Neonatal Consultant, Dr Donovan Duffy, explains; 'Ultrasound is a powerful tool in use on our neonatal unit each day. It is portable, readily available and safe. It does not involve radiation and does not require sedation. The main applications for neonatal ultrasound include brain, heart and abdomen.' We have Dr Donovan's full proposal available and can email it to anyone interested in this project - please get in touch! You can email us at info@first-touch.org.uk 

The names of supporters donating over £1000, either via Justgiving or offline, will be included on the plaque we will put on the scanner when it arrives at the neonatal unit.

Thanks, Sarah, Sonja & Louise 7/8/12
