£3.65m Star Appeal
Past Appeal
In 2017 we hit target on our £3.65m Star Appeal to create the UK’s first Rare Diseases Centre for children
Every year, our hospital cares for over 9,000 children and young people living with a rare, complex or undiagnosed condition
In 2017 we hit target on our £3.65m Star Appeal to create the UK’s first Rare Diseases Centre for children.
Our Paediatric Rare Diseases Centre which opened in July 2018 was the first of its kind in the UK, bringing patients with the same rare condition together in the same place, at the same time with experts from specialities across the hospital to address any fear and isolation they may experience.
Through improved coordination of care, patients are now at the forefront of research and medical advances and treated in a unique and personalised way, not only improving their experience, but also their outcome too.
