A team of James Paget University Hospital staff, including myself, are taking part in the Blickling Half Marathon in March to raise funds for our Robot Appeal. 

We recently launched a fundraising appeal to raise £1.6 million for a new surgical robot at the James Paget. The robot will allow for complex surgeries to be performed by our surgeons through small incisions and with more precision. This will  benefit a number of specialities such as colorectal surgery, gynaecology, general surgery, upper gastrointestinal surgery, urology and our ear, nose and throat teams. The robot will also benefit our patients, allows specialist surgery to be carried out closer to home, decreasing the length of stay in hospital, reducing post-operative complications and lowering readmission rates.

To provide a boost for this appeal a number of doctors, nurses and others, including one of our Family Liaison Officers, will be taking part in the 13.1 mile Spring half marathon, which starts at Blickling Hall, on Sunday 19th March, to raise funds.

Each person taking part for a charity is asked to raise a minimum of £100 for the cause so any support would be much appreciated.
