Bedford Hospital Charity & Friends has an exciting new Appeal that will significantly improve the facilities available within our Accident & Emergency department at Bedford Hospital.
As you may recall, in the summer, the government announced that Bedford Hospital would receive Covid-19 funding of £3.1M to update and extend the A&E department for the hospital. The charity have been invited to enhance this provision by creating a brand new dedicated Paediatric A&E department and providing a CT scanner to be situated in the A&E department for shared use by both emergency and general hospital patients. We have jumped at this opportunity as it has long been a wish and dream of the charity to have a special A&E provision in the hospital for children. We are already discussing ways in which we can use our creative skills and provide those extra facilities and special touches that will really make the unit child-friendly and welcoming.
