Lovely!

Charlie on a heartwarming visit to Frome Community Hospital today. He cheered up lots of patients and thoroughly enjoyed all the fuss 💙

We've also been to several jobs in Bristol, Eastbourne, Borden, Purley and Center Parcs with the ponies.

Did you know in the UK around 200 people suffer a cardiac arrest outside hospital every day and currently, only 1 in 10 survive?

Our crew can reach patients across Dorset and Somerset within 20 minutes, but for someone in cardiac arrest, those first few minutes matter most.

That’s where YOU can help. Through DSAA Life Support, we’re giving our communities the confidence and skills to act. Delivering CPR and using an automated external defibrillator.

🟣 World Cancer Day: A powerful message from two brothers treated at the RUH

Today on World Cancer Day, we’re sharing the story of brothers David and Robert Taylor, who both underwent successful robotic surgery for prostate cancer here at the RUH - just weeks apart.

After a routine check-up led to a PSA test, Robert, 67, was referred to our urology team for further investigation. When he told his brother David, 70, about the high result of the test, David decided to get tested too. With a family history of prostate cancer, both brothers were quickly referred to the RUH for treatment.

Thanks to the incredible precision of our Da Vinci surgical robot – funded by our RUHX Charity – both men were able to have minimally invasive radical prostatectomies. This advanced technology helps our surgeons operate with greater accuracy and supports faster recovery times. In fact, Robert was able to return home the same day as his surgery.

🗨 Robert said:
“It was incredible to think I’d just had major surgery and could get home the same day. My experience at the RUH was very positive from start to finish – the staff were first class.”

🗨 David added:
“The care I received was magnificent. Every member of staff I met was so caring and supportive.”

Their message today is simple but vital:
👉 If prostate cancer runs in your family, please speak to your GP and get checked.

Anyone with a prostate gland can be at risk of prostate cancer. You can learn more about symptoms, testing and treatment on the NHS website. Just search 'NHS prostate cancer'

Thank you to David and Robert for sharing their story, and to our dedicated surgical and urology teams for the outstanding care they provide every day. 💜
