Registered charity number 210234. We have no staff, only unpaid volunteers, and have minimal overheads so what we raise is spent in the Hospital.

We are a registered charity (No. 210234) dedicated to raise monies to fund the purchase of equipment, facilities & amenities to benefit the patients & staff at the QEQM Hospital.

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters we are delighted to have funded two intravenous anaesthesia pumps, one of which is shown with Dr. Tony Hodgetts and Dr. Sanjay Agrawal who are Consultant Anaesthetists at the Hospital. The pumps, which cost a total of £5,840, enhance the experience of patients undergoing surgery especially those having certain types of operation and those with asthma or high blood pressure.
Administering anaesthetic intravenously reduces post-operative nausea and confusion whilst enabling a quicker recovery time. The patient’s age, height and weight are entered into the computerised pumps facilitating the correct dose of anaesthetic to be administered with a high degree of accuracy.
Dr. Hodgetts said: “Many thanks for your kind donation of this excellent kit that is being used to provide high level care to patients from our community.”
Please help us to continue making a positive impact on our Hospital funding items like these - such as by making a donation, visiting our shop in the Hospital, fundraising on our behalf or supporting our fundraising events 🙏 Please visit www.qeqmfriends.com for more details 😊

We’re planning to hold two more Greek Meze Nights there next year as part of the events to celebrate our 80th anniversary - so watch this space for all the details! 😊
