CTG upgrade
We believe mother and baby deserve the best and, when your child is about to enter the world, you want to know exactly what’s going on. To support our staff in offering the best possible maternity care, we’re raising funds to upgrade machines that monitor a baby’s heartbeat before birth.
These new CTG machines use the most advanced technology available, helping our maternity teams spot signs of distress early, especially in high-risk pregnancies. With clearer, more accurate information, we can make faster decisions and give every baby the best chance of a safe and healthy start.
The new devices we're aiming to purchase feature the latest version of the world-renowned Dawes-Redman analysis system, a breakthrough in foetal heart monitoring. This advanced technology uses powerful algorithms and larger data sets to provide a more accurate, objective assessment of a baby’s wellbeing. It helps interpretation, improving clinical decision-making and ultimately saving lives.
By purchasing five high-spec CTG machines, we can reduce wait times, improve the overall patient experience, and enhance safety across the service.
Support our theatres team
Every day and night our Winchester theatre teams perform life-saving procedures with focus, precision, and care. But the one space they rely on to rest and recover during long shifts needs to be refurbished to create a suitable space for breaks.
Unlike other clinical teams, theatre staff can’t access the hospital restaurant in their scrubs, which means they depend on a dedicated breakroom space close to theatres that's suitable for a large number clinical staff to use throughout the day.
To support them, we're looking to fund the full refurbishment of this vital space to create a comfortable, communal area where our valued staff can truly rest and recharge.
The Forget Me Not Fund
The heart-breaking loss of a baby is unimaginable and those who experience it often feel alone. However, at Hampshire Hospitals, that’s not the case, thanks to Hampshire Hospitals Charity which has been working with the maternity bereavement team over recent years to help fund vital support that offers a lifeline to parents who have lost a baby.
Hampshire Hospital’s maternity bereavement service was created in 2000 to support those who experience the loss of a baby from 12 weeks into the pregnancy, to 28 days after birth, and the support of our community is vital in helping to offer these much-needed services.
Funds raised through Hampshire Hospitals Charity are used to support parents in a variety of ways to ensure they don't feel isolated. Your generous donations will help provide families with emotional and psychological support and could include:
Group sessions
Holistic therapies
A football team for dads
Equipment or soft furnishings for our butterfly suite
Memory boxes, including kits to produce hand and/ or footprints
And other vital resources
By donating to our Forget Me Not Fund, you're helping to support parents through the toughest of times.
Family accommodation for PMI patients
The Peritoneal Malignancy Institute (PMI) specialises in surgery for cancers that spread to the peritoneum, with Basingstoke being one of few UK centres offering this treatment. As one of the most experienced international centres, patients are referred from across the country with many travelling significant distances for this specialist treatment.
This major surgery requires intensive care and a hospital stay of two to three weeks. With support from Hampshire Hospitals Charity, free on-site accommodation is provided for a family member or loved one, helping patients feel supported throughout recovery.
Research shows family presence reduces stress, speeds recovery, and shortens hospital stays, while also ensuring patients from all backgrounds can benefit from vital support.
