New equipment donated by Anna’s Challenge means that children and young people with cystic fibrosis can carry out intensive chest physiotherapy programmes at home with supervision from their parents.

With funds raised through The Magic Wand Appeal, improvements have been made to the patient bathroom, parents’ coffee room and breastfeeding room on Northbrook Ward at Winchester.
The elderly care team has joined together with the Frailty Network and ECIP to support the development of a frailty pathway. The pathway will ensure frail elderly people admitted to hospital are seen and treated more quickly.

Our pressure ulcer elimination programme has led to a significant reduction in hospital acquired pressure ulcers, with grade two pressure ulcers falling by 30% and grade three pressure ulcers falling by 70%.
