We’re really proud of this patient-funded project; where local donations have gone directly into improving the patient environment. A great example of local people funding local care. 👏👍

Thank you for the feedback. It’s always a pleasure to meet new members of the oncology team.

During their local induction week staff visit the @yourfocusteam with some saying: “Alison is amazing!”, “I found this really useful the Focus Team were very kind and polite” and “I am now able to point patients to Focus and am aware of their roles” Great feedback well done 👏🏻👏🏻

What a privilege to support Terry and Jayne in the oncology unit. Terry was an amazing ambassador for his family and for FOCUS. It is humbling to see that work continue through Anneliese and Eleanor. Thank you all for everything you have done. It makes a huge difference. 👏
