October Supporter Update
Welcome to your October update from Nottingham Hospitals Charity. Read on to find out how your support is helping to fund research into post-surgical infections, and how you can support the Nottingham Breast Institute this Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Helping fund research into post-surgical infections
Thanks to your donations, we gave just over £4,000 for equipment to support the development of new diagnostic tests for post-surgical bacterial infection.
The study aims to help tackle the issue of antibiotic resistance, by developing quick and accurate tests to determine whether an infection is bacterial, and therefore whether antibiotics should be prescribed.
How you can support breast cancer care this Breast Cancer Awareness Month
This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, you can help us support treatment and research here at the Nottingham Breast Institute.
Your donations enable us to help provide the very best care for breast cancer patients here in Nottingham – throughout diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.
