Chief Executive's statement

Our vision, “to provide an outstanding experience and best outcome for our patients”, is how we want every patient and relative visiting our hospitals to feel. It’s about the care and treatment being given, together with the environment in which it is delivered.
Our charitable funds are used to help us achieve this by providing additional equipment, and enhanced surroundings that are above and beyond what the NHS can currently provide.
On rare occasions charitable funds can also be used towards research and to trial new procedures. Improved facilities to receive chemotherapy, overnight accommodation in the neonatal unit, an additional mammography scanner to enable faster diagnosis and restful green courtyards are just a few examples.
Your donations really do make a massive difference, as do the considerable number of hours our fundraisers put in to raise these valuable funds.
May I take this opportunity to say a personal thank you for helping us to achieve our vision.
Julie Smith
Chief Executive
