Keeping Pace with Surgical Advancement

Technology is constantly advancing and UK hospitals don't have the resources needed to provide all that is required to keep pace with other European Countries. Consequently they are better equipped and have better survival rates and surgical outcomes than here in the UK.

We aim to raise funds through charitable donations and charity events, that is where we need your help. Donations can be made using the donate link which directs to our JustGiving page. We will also be holding a number of ticketed events throughout the year to raise funds so do check our events to find out more….
