The difference you make

Make a difference today

There are so many ways that donations touch the lives of patients, carers and staff. Donations support patients of all ages including babies, children and adults. We've listed just a few examples. To find out how you could make a lasting difference and support our charity please get in touch.

Medical equipment

A charity legacy funded a major refurbishment of the Trust’s Cardiac Catheterization or 'Cath Lab' at Tunbridge Wells Hospital and purchased an x ray and hemodynamic system. The equipment has improved diagnostics and also led to patients requiring lower doses of radiation.

A major gift from a supporter purchased equipment for diagnosing and treating urological cancers, including ultrasound machines, a bladder scanner, cystoscopy scopes and renewal of surgical instruments. By using this equipment our Kent Cancer Centre can continue to provide world-class cancer treatment to our patients whilst greatly reducing the risk of infection.

Phototherapy systems  purchased for our Neonatal Unit provide high-intensity  phototherapy for effective treatment of jaundice and hyperbilirubinemia in babies.

Non-medical equipment & furnishings

Donations funded a water cooler at Maidstone Hospital to help support the hydration of new and expectant parents. It is also helping to support the health and wellbeing of staff members who look after families. Read more here

Wall-mounted toys now proudly entertain children at the Medway Eye Clinic which the Trust runs at Medway Maritime Hospital. The charity has also purchased waiting room chairs, restaurant furniture and picnic benches.

Technology

Thanks to donations a video messaging service at our Neonatal Unit  called 'Vcreate'  supports families who are unable to be with their baby in hospital. Families receive secure videos and pictures which build up into a video diary. Read more here  

Events

Donations have funded Kent Cancer Centre Health and Well-Being Days which help patients in managing the transition from active treatment (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery) to ‘normal’ life.
