Why is it that local people to the Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft and Waveney area don’t have access to surgical treatments using the latest robot technology? Why shouldn’t our local surgeons have access to this high technology equipment to treat our loved ones? These are questions me and my team often ask. 

We are determined to solve this inequality for our local communities but we need your help. 

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, allowing specialist surgery to be carried out closer to home, decreasing the length of stay in hospital, reducing post-operative complications and lowering readmission rates.

We are undertaking a 208km cycle ride in a day called the ‘Double Dutch’ which will see us start early on the 8th April in Huntingdon, cycling into Lincolnshire up to Spalding; then turning East to Kings Lynn, before returning to Huntington. In recognition of our efforts we are asking for your sponsorship to get us across the finish line. For more information on our ride see the link below:
