Primrose plans.

More than ever the Primrose Foundation will need your support in order that it can keep pace with the new technology and train staff in its use.

To keep the Primrose Centre at the cutting edge substantial funds must be raised every year. New procedures are constantly being developed. Technological advances are astonishing. Not only must the equipment be purchased and maintained but the staff must be trained in its use and in new procedures as they are introduced.

So what has Primrose Foundation committed to in the past year?

Specialist single use biopsy needles    £26,300   Done!

Equipment maintenance                     £21,000   Done!

New theatre equipment (minimum)   £25,000    Done!

Misc items                                              £3,390   Done!

Education & Research                          £1,000   Done!

Sentinal Node Probe                          £12,000    Done!

Breast Screening Statistics: Statistics for the Screening Programme are currently exceptional, with our best-sustained Round Length for a very long time.  Times to results and times to Assessment Clinic appointments are excellent and well within targets.  Cancer detection in the last Round, which has not recently been updated, was very high.  The QA Team will be visiting the Unit in February 2009.
