Duke of Cambridge marks 10 years as President of Royal Marsden

In celebration of his decade of being President of The Royal Marsden, the Duke of Cambridge visited their Sutton Hospital yesterday (16th May). This gave Prince William a chance to meet up with the staff he has met through the years on his visits and to see new equipment which will start being used later this year to hopefully reduce side-effects and make patient's treatment more effective.

The Duke visited the UK's first Magnetic Resonance Linear Accelerator (MR Linac), a state-of-the-art radiotherapy machine which is set to make treatment more effective and reduce side effects for patients. The first Royal Marsden patients are due to be treated with the machine in late 2017, initially through clinical studies in hard-to-treat cancer types. Senior staff led by Dr Alison Tree, Consultant Clinical Oncologist at The Royal Marsden showed him how the new equipment would benefit patients.

Chief Executive Cally Palmer said: "We were delighted to welcome our President back to the hospital in Sutton today. We are very grateful for his continued support for our patients and for the work we do at The Royal Marsden. By giving him the opportunity to be hands on, this particular visit was uplifting, inspiring and fun for both patients and staff. Over the last 10 years it has been a pleasure to show The Duke the work that takes place on a daily basis at our hospital, from complex and pioneering research to providing compassionate care and treatment for our patients."

Duchess of Cambridge to become champion of nurses
Double post auto-merged: February 16, 2018, 02:19:08 AM

he Duchess of Cambridge is to become a champion for nurses, set to launch a campaign to give them proper recognition as the ?lynchpins? of care.

The Duchess, whose great-grandmother worked as a nurse during the First World War, aims to raise the ?profile and status? of nurses, recognising them as experts who can tackle the ?rising burdens? of disease.

Late this month, she will make a major speech at the launch of Nursing Now, a global campaign to ensure nurses are credited as ?crucial?.

The Duchess? own great-grandmother, Olive Middleton, is known to have worked as a nurse, caring for wounded servicemen after the Leeds estate belonging to a cousin was turned into a field hospital.

To mark HRH's new patronage, The Duchess is presented with a certificate by Professor Lesley Regan, the President of @RCObsGyn.0

The Duchess joins a discussion at the @RCObsGyn about the ways in which the stigma around women's health, in particular maternal mental health, can be challenged.

The @RCObsGyn was founded in 1929 and works in the UK and globally to set standards for clinical practice, provide doctors with training, and advocate women's healthcare.

The Duchess of Cambridge, Patron of the @RCObsGyn, is learning about the College's education and training programmes for doctors specialising in obstetrics and gynaecologists.

The new patronages have been announced ahead of The Duchess? visit to @RCObsGyn today, followed by a visit to @GSTTnhs where The Duchess will officially launch the @NursingNow2020 campaign.

Thank you for sharing this news @wannable. Two  worthy organizations that will now have a very high profile patron.  :nod: I believe this brings her total number of patronages to 16. The RCOG would be an opportunity to highlight the issue of HG.

The Duchess of Cambridge takes on two new Patronage ? Royal Central

Professor Lesley Regan, President of the RCOG, said: ?I am absolutely thrilled that The Duchess of Cambridge has graciously accepted our invitation to become the RCOG?s second Patron, after Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. It is a great honour for the College, now in its 89th year, and its 16,000 members in the UK and around the world.

?We are very grateful to Her Royal Highness whose support will help to raise our profile as a medical charity that champions the provision of high-quality women?s healthcare at home and beyond. We know that maternal health and mental wellbeing is an issue close to The Duchess?s heart, as a young mother herself. We hope that this new relationship will build on our work to improve healthcare for women everywhere, and ensure that women?s views on the care they receive are at the heart of everything we do.?

Yes I agree @Blue Clover.

So according to their website, London Air Ambulance has on average 5 calls per day and they fly only during the daylight. They are not a part of the NHS system, but they do work with NHS hospitals and receive a small portion of their funding from the government. However the majority of their funding is raised through charitable donations. Road accidents, falls, stabbings/shootings make up much of their calls.
