About Us - Kingston Hospital Charity

About us

Charitable donations help provide a quality of care that is over and above what is possible with NHS funding alone.

We support Kingston Hospital by: funding cutting edge equipment and high quality clinical research; helping create the best possible patient environments; and recognising the dedication and caring commitment of staff by supporting their development and wellbeing.

Everyone who cares about Kingston Hospital as it strives to provide outstanding patient-centred care across all its services has the opportunity to get involved. If you wish to, you can direct your support to a particular ward, service, department or project.

Working together to deliver outstanding

patient-centred care

Everything we have been able to achieve to date has been thanks to the generosity of our many supporters and partners but there is still much to do that requires your support. With your help we can ensure the hospital’s doctors, nurses and researchers can provide the very best care and newer and better treatments, for the benefit of patients and their families, now and in the future.

Currently our focus is on developing a two storey-extension, expanding the Royal Eye Unit at ground floor level, while creating a new paediatric oncology day care suite at first floor level, which is self-contained but linked to the rest of the paediatric department. We’d love your help with this project – for further information please click on the links below:

The difference you make

Maxwell Thorne Haematology Day Unit

A second floor has been added to the Sir William Rous Unit, Kingston Hospital’s main building for cancer services, to accommodate the haematology service, which is large enough to treat 3,000 patients each year.

Consistently excellent dementia care

Approximately £650,000 has been raised to help transform Kingston Hospital’s three elderly care wards so they are dementia friendly - safe, homely and comfortable social and therapeutic environments that facilitate all types of functioning.

Medical equipment

The acquisition of a Holmium Laser, purchased with charitable funds, ensures Kingston Hospital is at the forefront of providing the best possible surgical interventions for a range of conditions including enlarged prostate glands, kidney stones and bladder cancer.
