These are difficult times for us all and the Covid-19 virus is having a profound effect on our lives not least here in the hospital which, as a centre of excellence for the treatment of heart and lung diseases, is at the forefront of the fight against this awful disease. As well as protecting patients, staff and visitors we need to consider the impact that the virus is likely to have on our ability to continue to support the hospital as we have done. This is why we are asking at this most extraordinary time if you can think of helping us with a donation.. We are so proud of the role we play in helping the many thousands of people who come to us each and every year and we are determined that we will be able to continue to provide that support with help from people like you.
