SUPPORT SMALL-SCALE RESEARCH

FUND INNOVATIVE EQUIPMENT

We invest in cutting-edge equipment and technologies that core NHS budgets can’t cover, from vein-finding devices for young patients to eye gaze communicators in the ICU. These innovations give NHS teams the tools they need to deliver extraordinary care.
