Happy Mother's Day from Sheffield Hospitals Charity! 💗

Today, celebrate mums who work for our incredible NHS and those who have been cared for by them.

Sisters Martha and Hepsie, recently shared their story with us as they remember their late mum, Penelope.

“Sheffield Hospitals were there for our mum and for us, as we navigated the heartbreak of her stroke, and later her dementia. Being able to give back in her memory feels like a small but important way to say thank you.”

Head to our website to read their story and to also share your own Mothers Day Memories 💌

Catch our CEO Beth Crackles tomorrow on Sheffield Hospital Radio! 📻

Join Michael Harper this Saturday morning as he welcomes Beth Crackles, CEO of Sheffield Hospitals Charity, to the studio.

Beth will be talking about the incredible impact the charity has across Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, from funding equipment and projects that improve patient care, to supporting staff and enhancing the hospital experience for thousands of people every day.

They’ll also discuss the charity’s current campaigns, how the public can get involved, and why so many patients and families choose to support the charity. For many, it’s a meaningful way to say thank you for the care they’ve received, and to help make the hospital experience better for future patients.

A really interesting conversation about how generosity, gratitude and community support play such an important role in the healing journey.

Tune in: 10am – 12pm Saturday 14th

Game-changer! 🚀 100s of cancer patients set to benefit from a brand-new cutting-edge surgical robot, heralding a new era of cancer care⭐

We're extremely proud to announce that a new surgical robot is on its way to the Northern General Hospital thanks to a record £1.45m donation from Sheffield Hospitals Charity and their amazing supporters.

The brand-new dual console da Vinci Xi surgical system will be used to deliver life-changing robotic-assisted surgery for a wide range of cancers including lung, oesophageal, stomach, bowel, liver, pancreas and kidney cancers.

The new surgical robot - which will be operated by the surgeon from a console with a precise, magnified view of the surgical site - will support the ambitions of the new National Cancer Plan to transform the life chances of cancer patients:

✔️Faster recovery times
✔️Reduced complications
✔️Fewer and less invasive incisions
✔️Better outcomes and shorter hospital stays.

It will also support the increasing demand for minimally invasive general surgical procedures which require greater dexterity.

Beth Crackles, chief executive of the Charity, said: “This is a tremendous boost for cancer patients locally, and we are truly grateful to the generosity of the people of Sheffield for making it possible.”

Sheffield was one of the first NHS Trusts in the country to pioneer da Vinci robotic-assisted surgery at the Hallamshire Hospital, so we are delighted we will have robotic surgery also available at the Northern General Hospital.

"We are extremely grateful to Sheffield Hospitals Charity and their donors for this significant donation which will help save lives and impact positively on patients in Sheffield and beyond," Kirsten Major, Trust chief executive added.

The first procedures on the new surgical robot are set to take place in spring this year - we'll keep you posted on developments!

Many thanks to all who supported bringing this donation to Sheffield and the wider region 💙
