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!!

Staff at the Hospital of St Cross have recently taken delivery of a special new trolley for use in the X-ray department. 

Nicky Rees, Senior Radiographer at St Cross, explains more about the equipment which has been donated: “This new trolley has several significant benefits.  It is designed to accommodate x-ray facilities so that image quality isn’t compromised and we are able to x-ray nearly every part of the patient once they are in situ.

“Its range of movement and smooth hydraulics give a more comfortable experience for our inpatients and means they are only moved twice rather than four times during a visit.

“We’re very grateful to the Friends for their donation of this equipment as it greatly improves patient experience.”
