Help Us Bring a new Superficial Therapy unit to the Royal United Hospital Bath
We are raising funds to purchase a new Superficial X-ray Therapy unit for the Cancer Centre at the Royal United Hospital (RUH), Bath — vital technology that will directly improve the treatment of cancer patients in our community.
The RUH is working in partnership with the Bath Cancer Unit Support Group (BCUSG) to replace the current Superficial X-ray Therapy unit, which was originally funded by BCUSG in 2010 and has now reached the end of its safe operational life after 15 years of service.
Superficial X-ray Therapy units are typically replaced every 10 years. However, due to the exceptional care and maintenance provided by both the department and the service provider, the current unit has safely and reliably exceeded its expected lifespan, continuing in service for an additional five years.
This new, modern unit will ensure that patients in Bath and the surrounding areas continue to receive high-quality, local, specialist cancer treatment, without the need to travel further afield.
Our goal is to raise £325,000 to fund the purchase of a brand-new Superficial X-ray Therapy unit, enabling the Cancer Centre at the Royal United Hospital to continue delivering essential treatments to patients who need them most.
