Thanks to our incredible supporters across Gloucestershire, an amazing £600,000 has been raised for a new scanner that will help thousands of patients in the county.
The new CT Gamma Scanner will soon be helping our hospital teams to diagnose conditions at the earliest opportunity, it will aid the treatment of babies, people with cancer and patients with neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s.
This equipment will provide two specialist scans at the same time; an external CT scan and a gamma scan from within the body, helping to diagnose conditions which otherwise may not be found.
Our team is over the moon and we are so grateful to everyone who has done their bit to help make this new scanner possible. It has meant so much to us to see the support from the community. This incredible advanced technology will enable us to offer a faster and more comfortable experience and it could help more than 4,000 patients every year in Gloucestershire.
Your support has now raised more than £3million to fund CT scanners and other imaging technology at the hospitals, with around 40,000 patients now set to benefit each year. As a charity we are committed to continuing to fund further technology over and above standard NHS provision.
