All donations, whether small or large, make a positive impact on our patient and staff experience. From bereavement memory boxes and books to technology and medical equipment there are so many ways that supporters can help make all the difference to a patient's stay.

Here are just some examples:

Neonatal -video messaging

Thanks to donations, parents of babies being cared for on the Neonatal Unit at Tunbridge Wells Hospital can see their baby via video when they’re unable to be with their child. The secure video messaging application vCreate, brings babies and parents together.

The technology, which allows clinical teams to send video updates to parents when they’re not able to be at the hospital, was made possible thanks to the Morrisons Foundation. The Foundation, part of the national supermarket chain, donated £9,600  which will fund the service for two years.

Intensive Care Unit - equipment

The impact of Covid-19 has affected Critical Care Teams and thanks to donations, new equipment including aerogens, specialist clocks and rehab chairs are now supporting patients.
