Para 1.20 | In the Financial Year 2024/25 we have raised £13,973.01. The funds raised have purchased 8 Ambulatory Syringe Drivers & Lock Boxes for the Queens Centre Oncology & Haematology at Castle Hill Hospital for the benefit of palliative care patients. They are used by the palliative care nursing staff, who set the equipment for the patient to deliver a continuous infusion of up to four medications at a time over a 24 hour period. The syringe drivers enable patients to be discharged early from hospital and ensure they do not have a break in their medications when returning home. Due to the small and portable nature of the drivers, they make a life-changing difference to cancer patients. Giving them the freedom and independence to participate in everyday family life, making precious memories with loved ones, whilst taking care of their physical symptoms. |
