Many patients and families kindly give to Plymouth Hospitals General Charity to support the work of NHS staff at our hospital and other sites throughout Plymouth. These very kind and generous donations are additional to and supplement NHS funding. They allow us to provide various benefits for patients and staff that would not normally be available.

Every year an average of £1million is donated to the hospital’s general charity and the hospital would like to thank everyone who has helped the Trust in this way. These donations have enabled the hospital to run additional courses and send over 400 members of staff on educational events and courses. In addition donation money has allowed the Trust to purchase additional equipment to aid in the treatment and care of patients. Examples of equipment purchased include:

• ECG Recording Machines & Monitors
• 3D Heart Scanner
• Centrifuges
• Cornea Measuring Equipment
• Electronic Patient Hoist
• Examination Couches
• Exercise Equipment for the Physiotherapy
• Department
• Icemaker
• Infusion Pumps
• Bedside Lockers
• Tables and chairs for patients and their visitors
• Spirometer
• Vitalcare Monitors
• Vaccine Fridges
• Play Equipment for Children’s Wards

We are extremely grateful for all donations, whatever the size. Your donation can be used to support a particular ward, service or appeal, please just let us know your intentions. If you would like to support future improvements please click on the How to Donate link.
