Back the BEACH Appeal to help transform care across Dorset
The NHS is funded to provide the majority of the plans set out here. However, many of the ‘above and beyond’ items are not covered. Often, these can make all the difference between technically good care, and a positive heart-warming experience. This is where we need your help.
University Hospitals Dorset NHS Charity has launched a £1.5m fundraising appeal to take the Royal Bour nemouth Hospital into the future. The BEACH Appeal is one of the charity’s biggest ever fundraising appeal to provide additional items for the new six-storey building at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital to help transform healthcare across Dorset.
One of many fundraising items includes an additional state-of-the-art CT scanner to enable double the number of patients to be scanned, diagnosed and treated within critical timeframes. Funds will go towards new wellbeing gardens adjacent to the new Critical Care Unit to provide a tranquil outdoor space for patients, visitors and staff. And, new indoor and outdoor play areas in the new children’s health department to give children joy and a break away from clinical areas. Artwork throughout the building will also require charity funding - there are some great, large ‘blank canvas’ opportunities.
Head of Charity, Debbie Anderson said:
The BEACH Appeal really is a once-in-a generation opportunity for us all to be a part of something special by helping to transform care together for everybody across Dorset.
