Kit for the Clinic campaign

The Kit for the Clinic campaign is about enhancing a patient's stay at the new clinic. It's been launched by the Royal Berks Charity and the Bracknell News. The campaign hopes to raise in excess of £30,000.

Ian Thomson, Business Development Manager for the Royal Berks Charity is very excited about being involved in a local community campaign.

He said: "I am delighted to be working with the people of Bracknell, helping to raise funds for this very worthwhile cause. Many patients who will visit the clinic will spend a considerable amount of time receiving treatment. If we can help by making that visit a bit more special and help enhance a patient's experience, then we will have succeeded in achieving our goal."

 

The Royal Berks Charity needs to raise at least £30,000 through public donations which will help buy:

• 10 computer Laptops at a cost of £550 each. Providing laptops will enable patients to keep in touch with their work place and family. For the business person this will allow them to keep in contact with their external and internal customers.
• 30 TV/DVD players with Freeview at a cost of £500 each including installation costs. These units will help patients through the long dialysis sessions of four to five hours and have proved to be a resounding success and endorsed by patients in the renal units at the Royal Berkshire Hospital.
  Mr. C said: “I’d be lost without the TV. It’s three days a week of your life in hospital, that’s why it’s good to have television. It passes the time away”.  
• patient access Wi-Fi system. This will allow patients to access the Internet for business and social use.
• visual image wall mounted light box for use in the LinAc bunker at a cost of £4,000. Nature imagery, when incorporated into treatment environments, can reduce patient stress and anxiety.
