"We're very proud of our achievements, which include providing a twenty five bedroom house adjacent to the hospital offering patients' relatives free home-from-home accommodation whilst heir loved ones are receiving treatment. We have purchased several million pounds of vital specialist equipment to aid diagnostics and help health specialists provide the most advanced procedures. Additionally our funding of a £1 million refurbishment for the children's ward has made it one of the finest facilities of its kind in the UK.
We have also enabled the paediatric intensive care unit to purchase an intensive care ambulance and Babypod which are used to bring the most vulnerable children safely to the Cardiac Centre from outlying hospitals. We recently put in place a unique state-of-the-art education and conference centre which is already ensuring the cardiac staff across the region, have the opportunity to update their skills allowing them to provide the finest patient care. The conference centre also provides a fantastic venue for local businesses, which we are seeing used more and more for all sorts of conferences and exhibitions.
Over the next few months, we are working to fully refurbish our website so that we can bring you the latest news on events that enable us to further support all those affected by heart conditions. I look forward to welcoming you back, as you see these changes taking place and I am sure you will want to join us.
