Funds raised towards this project will help us to purchase two ISTAT Machines for the paediatric oncology department.
These incredible portable devices enable existing patients to have oncology blood screening at home, with immediate results avoiding the delays in admissions into hospital if needed. Paediatric cancer patients are amongst the most vulnerable to be treated and face an agonising rollercoaster of hospital admissions, fear and pain throughout their treatment journey. This machine will allow some of the most unwell children in our hospitals and their parents to know calmly and quickly whether they need to be re-admitted or their treatment changed.
