Bath Cancer Unit Support Group (BCUSG) are a small local charity run entirely by volunteers who since 1985 have been raising money to purchase and provide facilities and services unable to be funded by the NHS, to benefit cancer patients at the Royal United Hospital Bath.
We have just donated £340,000 towards the purchase of a Veriton Digital Gamma Camera which is the first of its kind to be installed anywhere in the country. The new camera is making a real difference for local cancer patients by reducing scanning times, creating much clearer images to help with diagnosis and resulting in patients being exposed to smaller doses of radiation for their scan.
Currently, in conjunction with senior clinicians we are identifying our next major fundraising project and the fantastic donation of £1,000 from Ecclesiastical Insurance will get us off to a great start.
