ADVANCED TRAINING AND EDUCATION Expand Many members of hospital staff have been supported with additional specialist training and education to help keep them at the forefront of medical practices. Patients benefit greatly from the advanced techniques and latest research gained through these courses and seminars. Training and education of this sort can also help with staff morale and retention – two key issues within the NHS.
SUPPORTING OUR STAFF Expand Many of our charity supporters have a strong wish to thank the hospital staff who have made a difference to them and their families. Through their donations we are able to make hospital areas more comfortable for staff, providing rest areas, drinks facilities and other simple enhancements. Some funding is also used for specialist counselling and to provide extra support for our dedicated clinical staff.
PATIENT WELFARE Expand In addition creating a more welcoming and comfortable hospital environment can make a huge difference to patients and their families. Art and music throughout the hospitals, refurbishment projects and some specialist counselling projects are provided by the charity to enhance the patient experience.
FUNDING THE VERY BEST MEDICAL EQUIPMENT Expand We work with our clinicians across the four hospitals to determine how we can help fund the very best medical equipment helping enhance patient care across our local Oxfordshire hospitals. As a charity we are able to provide cutting-edge equipment – such as the latest scanners, monitors, lasers, ultrasound and imaging technology – providing equipment like this to our clinical teams is one of our core aims as a charity.
