Beatson Cancer Charity is committed to providing significant funding and services to enhance the experience, treatment, outcomes and wellbeing of current and former cancer patients and their families in partnership with The Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre.
Beatson Cancer Charity provides a range of patient and family support and facilities including patient wellbeing and complementary therapy services. The charity also funds specialist posts, enhanced medical equipment, innovative service developments, novel research projects and staff professional development. Find out more about what we help to fund at Beatson Cancer Charity below.
Specialist Staff
We aid funding of specialist staff and their resources. This includes specialist staff working in nursing, radiography and research. Without our funding it is possible that these positions would not be filled. These vital posts make a direct impact on enhancing care and support for cancer patients and their families, as well as undertaking vital educational and research activity.
Enhanced Medical Equipment
The charity funds a wide range of advanced medical equipment to meet the needs of cancer patients. Recently purchases have been electric beds and specialist chairs.
Innovative Service Developments
Beatson Cancer Charity fund service developments and enhancements to existing NHS services. This includes the co-funding of a Late Effects Clinic, which supports patients both physically and mentally following pelvic radiotherapy treatment, to enhance their quality of life.
Novel Research Projects
Research funding is provided for unique and vital research programmes contributing to the fight against cancer both now and in the future.
Staff Development
Additional funding for NHS staff education and training helps to support staff professional development by enabling them to attend specific study days, conferences and gain further experience and qualifications. Beatson Cancer Charity therapists also provide stress management sessions to all staff at The Beatson.
