Bedford Hospital Charity & Friends are continually fundraising to provide the most up to date equipment, facilities and services at Bedford Hospital for the benefit of all patients who need the services of our hospital.
Over the last two years we have supported Bedford Hospital with the introduction of a dedicated Paediatric A&E, followed by the installation of CT in A&E - The Clifton Ibbett Suite - and also helped install the best Robotic Surgery equipment on the market for our surgeons. We have just concluded our fundraising efforts to install Cardiac CT Angiography at South Wing. This highly specialised CT scanner permits Cardiac Angiography to be performed without prior preparation as is currently required for Cardiac CT Scans at other hospitals. Plus, Bedford patients no longer need to travel to Papworth and we now have much reduced waiting lists for CT based coronary angiography. This is a top-of-the-line CT scanner with only 6 of these installed in the UK!
We have now started fundraising for our new "Children's Cancer Services Appeal". We aim to raise £80,000 to refurbish two dedicated Cancer Care side rooms on Riverbank Ward where acutely ill children who develop complications whilst undergoing treatment at Addenbrookes or Great Ormond Street hospitals can be treated urgently. We are also raising funds to pay for the first year's salary for a dedicated Cancer Care Nurse Specialist. This will be a huge step forward in urgent treatment availability for Bedford children who are very sadly undergoing cancer treatment.
Thank you very much for your continued support.
