Overnight essentials donated
A big thanks to Beatson Cancer Charity, who have donated overnight essentials to our three general hospitals.
Grace Stewart, head of patient and family support at Beatson Cancer Charity, said: “Thanks to our generous donors and supporters, we have provided pyjamas, nightdresses, dressing gowns, underwear, socks and slippers to cancer patients across NHS Lanarkshire.
“The much-needed items will be replenished to keep stock available at all times.
“On behalf of the charity, I’d like to give sincere thanks to everyone who has made this donation possible. Without the incredible support we receive from our donors, a lot of what we do would not be possible.”
If you have a cancer patient who requires any of the items, please contact: Hairmyres – ward 11;
Monklands – ward 12; Wishaw – Sharon Murray, management office. If a top-up is required, contact Lucille.McLaughlin@beatsoncancercharity.org , 0141 212 0505.
