That's almost 27,000 full-time paid workers, equivalent to about £650 million in avoided costs, every year!

Haddenham Rotary install personal TV system at Stoke Mandeville Hospital Renal Unit to help improve patient welfare

The 12 bed renal dialysis unit at Stoke Mandeville Hospital shared 5 televisions, and the choice of a channel to watch was something of a lottery

Now, every bed has it's own TV and DVD machine, remote control and headphones so each patient can please themselves about what to watch

Six Counties Kidney Patients Association (SCKPA) supported this project

"On behalf of all the staff, children and parents I want to thank you
so much for the brand new televisions which have been installed
in the PDU, and for the Kindles too

The difference it makes to a frightened young child is incredible
and makes their stay with us a little easier. I spent half an hour
with a little 6 year old last week playing on the Kindle before his MRI scan
he was calm and relaxed which is exactly how we needed him to be

We are all so grateful for your kindness and generosity"
Sarah – PDU Play Leader
