ON-GOING SUPPORT
In 2018, the Festival raised £25,380.91 which enabled the Hampshire Medical Fund to buy a State-of-the-art Laparoscopic Simulator and Mobile Camera/Monitor System for Gynaecology, General Surgery and Urology at Basingstoke Hospital and put the remaining funds towards an Intrabeam Intraoperative Radiology Machine to treat Breast Cancer at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester.
This year in 2019 we are raising funds to purchase a Sysmex Sentimag Montitor for the Breast Surgery department. The Sentimag Monitor will enable patients to no longer have a wire fitted to the breast before screening, this in turn will ensure that the patient’s experience will not be so harrowing and enabling time tabling to be more efficient across both Winchester and Basingstoke Hospitals. The Sentimag Monitor will benefit over 200 patients per year.
The charity, which buys cutting-edge medical equipment for Basingstoke, Winchester and Andover hospitals, was founded by the late Earl of Carnarvon in 1981. With the burden of funding requirements on the NHS ever increasing, the Hampshire Medical Fund’s work is increasingly necessary to help enable our Hampshire Hospitals provide the best possible care for patients, putting our Hampshire NHS Trust at the forefront of clinical excellence.
By supplying pioneering equipment to our hospitals, the Hampshire Medical Fund is aiding our Hampshire NHS Trust in being able to attract and retain the best consultants, junior doctors, nurses and therapists to care for the community of Hampshire.
