CT Scanner
We have just announced our latest project following on from the opening of the Drop In Centre Over the next three months at a cost of £535,000 we will see the installation of a new CT Scanner funded by the Sick Kids Friends with huge support from a very generous family. The scanner will replace the one which we purchased in 1998, as technology has developed so much that this one is now well out of date and cannot deliver the best imaging to help our doctors to give accurate diagnosis and treatment.
