OUR IMPACT
SUPPORTING OUR PATIENTS Income raised for the charity can go a long way in providing additional comforts for our patients. Every day patients across our hospitals feel the benefit of the generosity of people like you; from funding medical equipment and the latest research, to making our hospital a more comfortable and attractive place for patients of all ages. This year’s challenges put even greater pressure on the well-being of our patients. With visiting on hold, patients were spending more time in isolation, away from friends and loved-ones. The charity was able to help in small way such as purchasing TV’s for wards, installing murals such as the one featured in the highlights for the year (page 5), and murals for our ‘Swan Rooms’ which are rooms to allow relatives to spend valuable time with their loved one, who is at end of life, in a more private, peaceful and calming environment. With your help, we have funded important equipment to enhance our care. This includes items such as additional breast pumps for new mothers, state-of-the-art scanners for our gynae and renal patients and a new Dermatscope in Dermatology. We have also been able to fund small but significant equipment such as additional blood pressure machines, and mobile diagnostic trolleys.
ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2020 - 2021
Over £7,000 was used for Dementia Improvement and Dementia Boxes “An acute general hospital can be a disorientating and often frightening place for anyone, but this may be considerably worse for someone who is living with dementia. The money from the charity helps to provide appropriate activities to support stimulation to help people to remain alert and motivated.”
- Karen Breese, Dementia Nurse Specialist
