We are aiming to raise at least £65,000 so that we can continue making a difference for patients attending the Hospital of St Cross and the NHS Community Service in Rugby. We will publish, here and on social media, some reminders of the support you have enabled us to provide and some of the donations we receive towards the Appeal. Due to the pandemic the appeal was not launched until 1st October 2020 and will run until December 2021. Click here to donate!!

The new chairs should add a touch of comfort in the urgent care centre

The Friends of St Cross have donated four new chairs which will help to improve the patient experience at the Urgent Care Centre.

Nell Jones, the Urgent Care Nurse Manager at St Cross, explained “These chairs are more comfortable than treatment trolleys for patients waiting for assessment or transport. Two of them are located in a side room which provides a better setting for holding sensitive conversations than the treatment cubicles. The other two are kept in the Paediatric bay where we find that young patients are more relaxed sitting in this type of chair when they are not receiving treatment.”
