Raising money for your local NHS charity helps support better care at your local hospitals, making improvements that will benefit your family, friends and local community. With your help we can buy additional innovative medical equipment, such as another surgical robot so that patients having surgery recover more quickly; we can fund wellbeing and development opportunities for hospital staff, supporting nurses to become nurse consultants, and staff across our hospitals to have better staff room facilities; we can support research, such as the development of non-invasive testing for prostate cancer or developments in gut health; we can make the experience of patients better, by making the hospital environment more engaging and less clinical, or simply by making the waiting areas more comfortable. We fund the 'extras', over and above what the NHS must or should fund, and your help makes all of that possible. Thank you for your support.
