Petersfield Hospital have put a team together to run the Great South Run in support of Brighterway Charity!

Brighterway is dedicated to enhancing patient care at Southern Health by raising funds to provide support beyond the NHS budget. With your assistance, we can improve care, experiences, and outcomes for all our patients every year.

A message from the team -

We are a team from Petersfield Community Hospital who are daring to put on our running shoes to complete 5km. Our collective love of running and desire to raise funds for the hospital are bringing us together.

Our team members come from across the hospital. Emma, Rehabilitation Assistant is a qualified cricket coach, loves cake and has recently realised that she hates camping! Helen our Physiotherapy Team Lead is a Running Ambassador for 5km your way (move charity). Karen our Discharge Coordinator is completing her first organised run and hopes her love of Biffy Clyro, Muse and Ginger will keep her going! Sarah, our Occupational Therapy Team Lead is hoping that this won’t be as hilly as running Kingly Vale. Lucy, Occupational Therapist, has completed her first CrossFit games and is ready for the challenge. Chris, one of our physiotherapists, is training by running at high speed to the train station. Other members of the team including Imogen, Kate, Kat, Jess and Jose can’t wait and look forward to being dragged along by our Matron for Physical Health Wards, Kate.

Brighter ways are a fantastic charity. Please help us make a real difference to the hospital.
