Most people support us because of their own
experience
Donations are ring-fenced for specific ward,
department or condition
Expenditure is decided by senior clinical staff
Over and above what NHS should do
For example, the ultrasound department encourage donations for the additional
scan photos (for grandparents, work etc!) which go into their charitable fund. That
fund bought a machine to warm the ultrasound gel – to make the scans more
comfortable for patients.
