We're raising money to purchase a new scalp cooling unit, to help patients to preserve their hair during chemotherapy.
Hair loss is often one of the most visible and distressing side effects of cancer treatment, impacting self-image and emotional well-being. With a scalp cooling unit, we can reduce hair loss, helping patients feel more like themselves during this challenging time.
We improve UCLH cancer services to enhance the experience of patients, their families, and staff
Our board, which comprises clinical and non-clinical staff, meet regularly to decide how money raised by the Cancer Fund is spent. This ensures that we are providing support where it’s most needed.
The Cancer Fund continues to support my colleagues and me when providing cancer care to our youngest patients. They fund equipment which makes our jobs easier and our patients more comfortable, like Wi-Fi across our children's ward to ensure they are entertained and can keep in touch with loved ones.
They also fund staff training and welfare initiatives so we can reach our full potential, feel more confident within our scope of practice and feel happier at work.
