Directors’ Report
Macmillan Caring Locally The Macmillan Unit is situated at Christchurch Hospital and is part of the Foundation Trust. It is an NHS Unit, supported by Macmillan Caring Locally. The Unit offers specialist palliative care to patients with cancer with difficult symptoms related to their cancer.
Macmillan Caring Locally operates from the Macmillan Unit and provides funding to enhance care and to provide an attractive, homely environment for patients and their families and visitors. They also provide funds for nursing and medical equipment to improve patient treatment and comfort.
During 2010/2011 Macmillan Caring Locally invested £435,000.00 in cancer related posts at the Macmillan Unit and at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital. This included replacing furniture and refurbishing the visitors’ lounge at the Macmillan Unit.
The televisions on the Macmillan Unit Ward and in the side rooms have all been replaced with new, wide screen models. These sets have been fitted with USB ports so that patients can watch slideshows of their favourite photographs.

Patient comment: “ Excellent service and the entire staff made me feel as ease. I have no qualms about staying in hospital with the level of care I received. ”
Chapel - a place for all
The Chapel of St Luke at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital is a place for prayer and contemplation by any who follow a religion. In an effort to help those of the Islamic faith, charitable funds have been given to provide a Wudu; a washing facility used before prayer.
This was achieved by using a redundant space adjacent to the chapel quiet area. The facility is used each day and has been very well received. It is a way of showing respect to others and brings a unity, tolerance and understanding to many of our staff and patients.
The Trust is very grateful for all their help and support over the last year. The continued contribution they make is enormously valued by our patients, staff and visitors to the Trust.
