The Oxford Children's Hospital Charity Golf Day 2019 will be held on Friday 14 June at Studley Wood, Oxford.

This year, all the proceeds from the event will go to support the paediatric gastroenterology team at the Oxford Children's Hospital. 

When performing an endoscopy on a child – in non-medical language, a visual, internal examination – the team may diagnose a polyp or other abnormality. These are often suitable to be treated there and then, however the equipment needed (a diathermy) is shared with the adult service at the hospital, and so often isn’t available. This means the child is often required to return for a second general anaesthetic procedure to remove the polyp.

Fundraising this year is to enable the purchase of dedicated diathermy equipment for the Children’s Hospital, which will mean quicker treatment and less hospital visits for children being treated by the gastroenterology team.

Last year you helped us raise over £35,000 for the thousands of young patients who are treated each year at the Oxford Children's Hospital, please help support this fantastic place once again.
