Spending supporters’ funds wisely (page 8)

At a time when the NHS is under increasing financial pressure, staff at Addenbrooke’s

and the Rosie continue to further improve facilities and patient services thanks to donations from the public.

Recent awards demonstrate how early, charitable funding of innovative projects can transform lives, not only in Cambridgeshire but much further afield.

New biopsy test for prostate cancerIn June it was announced that urology experts at Addenbrooke’s secured funding of nearly £800,000 from the National Institute for Health Research. The grant will enable Mr Vincent Gnanapragasam (pictured below) and his team to take a novel biopsy

test for prostate cancer from a prototype to a CE-marked device for clinical application.

The pilot work for CamProbe was initially funded by an Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust innovation grant of £29,700 and now has the potential to be more accurate than the current standard biopsy method. Just one example of how support from donations is changing lives.

Encouraging reluctant eaters to enjoy foodTASTE (Treatment and Support for Tricky Eaters) is another project developed with £29,770 from Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust’s Innovation funding. Now it has been commissioned by the NHS, which means it can be offered as part of mainstream services to support young patients with eating difficulties.

Children who have been dependent on tube-feeding or prescribed nutritional supplements because of food aversion are usually weaned off their nutritional support slowly. The process traditionally requires several hospital visits over a few years. The cost in terms of quality of life, family stress and hospital outpatient visits is high.

TASTE is an intensive play-based programme aimed at quickly getting children eating normal food again.

“ We are delighted that the support given by many generous donors has helped Mr Gnanapragasam and his team secure the much larger resources needed to develop this device beyond the prototype and nearer to the clinic.”

Dr Jenny Longmore, Director of research at Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust

Oases of calm are starting to appear across Addenbrooke’s and the Rosie thanks to kind donors and fundraisers supporting Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust’s Healing Spaces campaign. Maureen and Dennis Robertson were the first people to enjoy the Outpatients’ Garden, made possible through the charity’s partnership with Mick George.

Charitable support plays key role as more and more patients are attending Addenbrooke’s

It runs over two hours, daily for five consecutive days. The children attend sessions in a playroom setting where sensory and food play, singing, storytelling and free play are organised. Parents attend daily workshops with a dietitian, psychologist, speech and language therapist and the consultant. The results have been astounding with children

making great leaps toward normal eating behaviours.

The kindness of donors has resulted in big cost savings for the NHS and improved the quality of life for young patients and their families, a real win:win.

“The grant from Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust was a real leg-up for me. It gave me the time to explore my hypothesis and more confidently apply for this follow-on funding. I’m hoping the outcome will benefit not only patients at Addenbrooke’s but at other hospitals too.” Mr Harltey Senior physiotherapist

Research for stroke patientsIn the field of research, senior physiotherapist, Peter Hartley last month announced that he had received funding for a doctoral fellowship with the Dunhill Medical Trust.

This follows a six month, £22,447 fellowship from Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust and the Biomedical Research Centre to investigate loss in muscle strength experienced by some older people when admitted to hospital.

Around 30% of older patients need more help with daily living after a stay in an acute medical ward. Some may subsequently need help getting out of a chair, for example.

Exercise interventions have been shown in different patients to protect muscle strength and improve their ability to continue independent living.

The six month fellowship allowed Mr Hartley to build a competitive doctoral fellowship application. During this time, Peter published three papers, conducted a focus group and interviewed inpatients regarding his proposed research.

Without the support of kind hearted people, these advances which produce tangible results for patients, could not happen. The thousands of donors who give to Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust not only advance patient care but they give hope to families.

Haematology care at Addenbrooke’s: skilled staff but cramped conditions

“We observed the space in the haematology day unit to be very compact, with patients sitting very close together due to lack of space. This increased the risk of infection for patients who were immunocompromised.” Excerpt from report by the Care Quality Commission 2015

Addenbrooke’s blood cancer patients can be assured of world class treatment delivered

by the very best clinical staff. But up until now the facilities where treatment takes place have fallen far short of world class. The haematology day unit is cramped and lacks privacy, with patients sitting so close to each other the risk of infection is heightened. So there was an urgent need for improvements to be made.

A perfect, lighter, brighter space has been found in the hospital but it needs a complete refurbishment. The dialysis

service has been relocated allowing builders to move in and transform the space into a state-of-the-art haematology day unit. But the timeline is tight – the team has just six months to prepare all the building works so it can be ready for patients in September. While the cost of basic works is being met by the NHS, the vision is to go beyond the basic. So, in March Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust launched an urgent appeal to fund additional life-saving equipment, art and patient comforts.Hundreds of kind supporters responded with great

generosity of heart and £290,000 of the £350,000 needed was raised in the first five months.

The new space will make a big difference to the day-to-day experience of blood cancer patients. Among many other changes, capacity has more than doubled with 23 treatment spaces compared with 11 formerly. This will allow for a wider range of treatments to be delivered and to bring down waiting times. Five new side rooms will also allow for better infection management.

Hannah Brown, Matron and Lead chemotherapy nurse, has been overwhelmed by the generosity of hospital supporters. In only five months, £290,000 of the £350,000 needed has already been raised. “I want to thank every single donor. For the patients I work with, this new unit will make a life changing difference.”

Seeing transformation up close

Dean Morley, who was the face of the appeal, gets a tour of the building worksIn May, haematology patient Dean took the opportunity to don a high vis jacket and hard hat for an exclusive look at the haematology day unit building works.

Dean, and Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust’s Jo Elliott, were shown around by Tony Freeland, Main contractor lead with Carmelcrest.

With plans in hand, Dean explored the site, saw the two new treatment spaces, the quiet room, and individual treatment rooms. They finished the tour in the courtyard (pictured below) which will be transformed into a peaceful respite space for patients and their families.

Afterward, Dean said: “Going into the building today for the first time was absolutely amazing. I was struck by the size of the unit compared with E10. It’s going to be excellent, making it a lot easier for patients like myself to access treatment in more quiet and peaceful spaces to discuss personal business.

I just really want to thank everyone who has donated in the past and anyone considering donating now.

It’s going to be really, really good and very much appreciated. Thank you from myself and all the other patients. “

I donated so patients can be treated more quicklyMervyn Martin receives treatment at Addenbrooke’s for bone marrow cancer and he generously supported this appeal.

“I was told that there weren’t enough video conferencing facilities and because of that, when the doctors get together to discuss cases, they don’t have time to review about 20% of the people on the list. So they get deferred to next week.

I thought, if I can contribute to another video conferencing suite then there is a chance that these people will be

treated more quickly. That has to be good.

The care can’t be faulted; not in my case. They got me from where I was, which was immobile, to where I am now, which is leading a pretty normal life.

I am happy to be able to contribute. Everyone is healthy until they are ill.”

Preparing for the big move

Generous donations have allowed hospital staff to begin ordering the equipment and furnishings for the new unit, including:

Quiet room furniture and radio – to create a more homely, peaceful space

£4,000Platelet agitator – to speed up platelet transfusion treatment

£8,337Eight recliner chairs – for comfort during lengthy treatments such as chemotherapy

£11,247

DONATING IN MEMORY

Addenbrooke’s: a major centre for blood cancer careStaff on the haematology day unit provide over 650 treatment sessions every month.Up to 80% of patients are receiving treatment for a malignant blood disease: high dose chemotherapy, pre and post bone marrow transplant and supportive care. Demand has steadily increased by 35% from 7,860 visits in 2010 to 10,606 in 2016.

To meet increasing demand the unit started opening at weekends.

As well as being the local hospital for patients living in the Cambridgeshire area (covering around 647,200 people), patients can travel to Addenbrooke’s for haematology treatment from a considerable distance – from as far as the North Norfolk coast to the Thames Estuary, covering 7,300 square miles and serving a total population of nearly 5m.

My husband, Brian, was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in early 2015, just days before his 75th birthday. This meant frequent visits to E10, which he found frustrating as it was often overcrowded and there could be lengthy delays.

Brian wasn’t always a good patient. He hated being ill - and hospitals even more. But he loved the staff so much - they kept him calm during a really tough time and were always caring and upbeat. The NHS is fabulous and despite being under-resourced, the treatment Brian received was outstanding.

Brian sadly passed away in February and when I heard about the appeal for the new haematology day unit, I knew I wanted to help. Collecting donations in his memory was a wonderful way to celebrate his life.

Thanks to the generosity of family and friends, we have raised over £8,500 to purchase a new platelet agitator for the unit to speed up platelet transfusion treatment. It’s my way of expressing my grateful thanks to each and every member of the team involved with Brian’s care.

Introducing the Jungle Trail for young patientsAway from J2, children who stay in hospital for long periods lose normal opportunities to get out and about and their physical, emotional and cognitive development can suffer as a result.

The Jungle Trail has been created by speech and language therapy staff, in conjunction with estates colleagues, as a vehicle for health promotion and confidence building.

Thousands of children who stay at Addenbrooke’s each year can now enjoy two different

trails, predominantly outdoors, each where they can track down tactile pictures of animals, take pencil rubbings, answer questions and make drawings around the jungle theme.

Once they have completed the trail, children are awarded a certificate and can add a photo of themselves to the “wall of fame” if they wish.

Sophie Philips, Advanced speech and language therapist, explains the benefits: “the trail places an emphasis on normal, enjoyable activities for

our young patients and their families. Being able to spend time outside helps improve mood as well as being an escape away from the medical environment of the ward, supporting vocabulary and language development as well as physical stimulation.”

This fun project was part-funded with £2,000 thanks to Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust supporters.

J2 GARDEN PROJECT

Revitalising the trauma garden

Major trauma is the leading cause of death for people in the UK aged under 40, but for those who survive, the impact of major injuries – typically from car accidents or neurological disease – can be catastrophic.

Addenbrooke’s is the major trauma centre for the east of England. For many patients,

their often long road to recovery starts on ward J2. Some will never return to the lives they knew and will struggle to work, or may need care for many years to come.

A big challenge in their recovery is a lack of long-term rehabilitation facilities in the community, so they can spend weeks, if not months, on the ward. For spinal injury patients, this is particularly acute, with a 50-day wait for rehabilitation placements at the nearest

specialist centres in Sheffield or Stoke Mandeville hospitals.So, last summer, as part of its Healing Spaces campaign, Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust launched an appeal to breathe new life into the ward’s garden to aid patients’ recovery.

Staff said that a dedicated multi-sensory garden for the ward would be an invaluable asset to encourage patient mobility, alleviate frustration, maintain morale, please the senses and nurture recovery. As well as much-needed respite, the garden could enable rehabilitation therapies based around gardening, art and music.

Marissa Asplen, Junior Sister said: “Next to our ward is a paved garden area for our patients and their visitors. However, with no extra funds for improvement it is bleak, unloved and quite depressing. There’s not even a bench to sit on. It’s tragic to see a space that could contribute so much to patients’ wellbeing and recovery so underutilised”.

Since the appeal’s launch, a patient consultation exercise has been held and the ground surveyed and it is planned that the work on the garden will begin in early 2018.

Making the trees a key focal pointThe designer describes how the trees are going to be a key focal point: “The trees we’re talking about are Ginkgos and there are several reasons that we’ve gone for them. The first is that they’re very lightly foliaged. They’re quite interesting, with an unusual branch structure – they’re quite angular so to have three of them together in the centre will be really pretty. They have a beautiful butter yellow autumn colour.

They were one of the trees used to make drugs, by which I mean that they were a herbal remedy originally – I quite like that as a link.

We are also planning Amelanchiers around the edge, providing spread and shade. They blossom in April and birds really like them. They too have great autumn colour, so patients will have yellow from the Ginkos and reds from the Amelanchiers.”

A video of John describing the garden can be found on act4addenbrookes.org.uk/appealupdate.

Patient opinionPatients provide thoughts on the J2 garden designIn December patients recovering on J2 and their families were invited to a consultation workshop so they could feed their thoughts into the garden’s design.

Rachel Northfield, Head of liaison and development with the hospital’s estates team, helped to lead the discussion and attendees reviewed a selection of colour palettes, furniture options, flower and tree choices.

These thoughts were then fed into the garden design.

Ruth’s hopes for healing spacesRuth Sapsed was the face of the J2 garden appeal having had emergency neurosurgery for a rupture close to her brain in 2011 and again in 2015.Ruth came to the opening of the Outpatients’ Garden in May, saying “Gardens like this are important not just to patients but to everyone who works in a place like Addenbrooke’s. We all need spaces we can get out to and feel the air on our skin and the sun on our face. And just to get away from the bustle of what’s going on for us whether we’re working in here, a patient or whether we’re visiting. It’s an emotional place and coming out to somewhere

like this can give you a moment to breathe. I am so looking forward to seeing the J2 garden also becoming reality.”

A video of Ruth can be found at act4addenbrookes.org.uk/appealupdate

Addenbrooke’s service at St Botolph’s celebrates the past to prepare for the futureAt the Founder’s Day Service in St Botolph’s on 13 October, Roland Sinker, the hospital’s Chief Executive, reflected on how Addenbrooke’s has grown to be among the world leaders in health care. “Since John Addenbrooke, the passage of time has brought with it the impact of numerous individuals who, through their desire to learn and passion to innovate and explore science and medicine, have led us to where we stand now.

Addenbrooke’s is rooted in a city of diverse, academic and cultural history, spawning discoveries of world-significance; medical research in the city has inevitably grown over the last few decades. More organisations and more individuals continue to be attracted to the city; working alongside each other they have created one of the richest pools of clinical and scientific knowledge and expertise.

As an internationally known university teaching hospital, Addenbrooke’s is a natural centre for specialist services dealing with rare or complex conditions needing the most modern facilities, up-to-date treatment and the best doctors.

Many of the hospital’s specialists are leaders in their fields. This means that care is of the highest standard and that local patients have this concentration of medical expertise on their doorstep.And where Addenbrooke’s

stands now is part of a campus whose skyline boasts the hospital’s landmark chimney together with an army of cranes which are currently shaping the landscape and the future of the Cambridge Biomedical Campus.

Today the collaboration between academia, business and the NHS is enhanced by sharing the physical space of the campus. Our closeness means we have a rich and diverse community of ideas and inspiration working together to make things happen in medicine, science and technology.

Addenbrooke’s Hospital has not been without its struggles throughout its history, but one of the things that has enabled it to blossom has been philanthropy. This has always played, and continues to play, through Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust, a vital role. Critically, it enables us to go beyond the boundaries of what the NHS alone can afford. Without it, we simply wouldn’t be the hospital that we are.

Addenbrooke’s faces a future of challenges and hurdles to overcome. But science and technology are yielding ever-more inspiring and creative discoveries which means that

the next steps in healthcare promise a bright and exciting future …

And a future in which the city of Cambridge, Addenbrooke’s Hospital, the University of Cambridge and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus will take their place … at the forefront.

2016 has given us time for reflection and celebration. We are enormously proud of Addenbrooke’s, proud to be the teaching hospital for the University, proud to work with our partners on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus ... but more than anything proud to serve the population of Cambridge.”

250th gala dinner raises over £400,000Over 550 guests enjoyed the setting of Trinity College for a gala to mark Addenbrooke’s Hospital’s 250th anniversary

Champagne and canapés were followed by fine dining, entertainment provided by Clive Anderson, Kit and McConnel and some of the cast of Les Misérables.

A spectacular raffle, silent auction and thrilling live auction conducted by Lord Archer all contributed to raising over £400,837. Lord Archer rounded off the evening by persuading 35 generous guests

to each contribute £1,600 to buy new rise and recline chairs which will enable frail patients to maintain their mobility and confidence.

Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust thanked Ginny Robinson and her committee for organising such a memorable extravaganza. Photographs of guests can be seen on Tatler’s website at http://bit.ly/2uK1p1x

Addenbrooke’s was established thanks to a gift of £4,676 Dr John Addenbrooke

left in his Will to “hire and fit up, purchase or erect a small, physical hospital in the town of Cambridge for poor people.” Originally housing just 20 beds when it opened in 1766, today’s hospital has over 1,000.

To celebrate this milestone, Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust teamed up with the hospital to host a series of commemorative events across the year.

The charity also launched its Addenbrooke’s 250 Appeal to raise £250,000 to help it meet the growing list of requests for high tech equipment such as advanced scanners to smaller initiatives including breast cancer information packs and falls prevention aids.

The public rose to the challenge with their generous donations, and along with some imaginative and fun fundraising events, together raised a total of £567,943 over the year.

Fundraising events ranged from the Cambridge Beer Festival to the Addenbrooke’s Rocks concert, Dragon Boat Festival and the 250th anniversary fundraising gala at Trinity College.

Celebrating 250 years of charitable support

2016 was a special year as it marked the 250th anniversary of Addenbrooke’s Hospital.

Mrs Wood’s memories of Addenbrooke’sMrs Joan Wood, 82, donated £100 toward the Addenbrooke’s 250 Appeal and shared fond memories of her childhood visits to the hospital.

“I inherited my family’s tendency to asthma and used to go to Addenbrooke’s for physiotherapy. Nurse Pigott used to get me to lie on a bench in just pants and home knitted vest! She would roll up some crinkly paper into a ball and place it on my navel. She would say “we don’t want that to fall off, do we?” so controlled breathing was the aim.

I also remember kneeling on one side of a line painted on the floor with Nurse Pigott kneeling on the other. We both had to blow together–my aim was to blow the ping pong ball to her side and likewise opposite for her. “

How funds are being spentThe £567,943 raised through the Addenbrooke’s 250 Appeal last year is already being invested in patient care across Addenbrooke’s and the Rosie hospitals. Featured on this page are just a handful of projects, equipment and services that would not have been possible without charitable support.

Better treatments for brain surgeryHead injury is the single largest cause of death in those aged under 40 in the developed world. There are no active effective drug treatments for head injury, and many survivors have long-term disabilities with consequent demands on carers and resources, putting strain on families, local authorities and the NHS.

Important research is currently underway to look at how brain cells’ energy-making function is affected when injured and, importantly, how their function can be rescued.

The seahorse analyser, costing £25,355 is a key component in this research to devise better treatments for traumatic brain injury. The equipment enables study of energy-related changes in live brain cells in the laboratory.

“With the new Seahorse analyser we have an exciting opportunity here in the Cambridge University Department of Clinical Neurosciences for making a breakthrough in developing better treatments for brain injury. Thank you” Professor Peter Hutchinson, Senior Academy Fellow and Honorary Consultant Neurosurgeon

Giving voice to intensive care patientsResearch has shown that an inability to communicate is the most distressing and frustrating part of being critically ill on an intensive care unit (ICU). Most critically ill patients require artificial ventilation, often for prolonged periods. This is facilitated by an artificial airway which stops vocal cords from working and prevents patients from talking. Patients are often too weak to write and trying to mouth words to get their message across can lead to frustrating misunderstandings.

To alleviate the problem, Dr Tim Baker, speciality registrar on the ICU at Addenbrooke’s has invented an iPad app – MyICUVoice. Originally a symptom survey tool and a data collection device, a £40,000 grant from Addenbrooke’s 250 Appeal funds has helped

enhance MyICUVoice so it now also works as a communication interface between patients, their families and staff.

Dr Vilas Navapurkar, Consultant in Intensive Care Medicine at the hospital, said: “The inability to communicate when critically ill is extremely traumatic and for one in five patients it can be a contributing factor of post-traumatic stress disorder. The development of the MyICUvoice app helps the team on the Addenbrooke’s ICU with a crucial aspect of care quality ... hearing the patient’s side of the story.”

Karen Goodall’s mother, Sue, was admitted to the ICU and

it was a difficult time for the whole family. She said “being able to communicate with mum through the MyICUvoice app was so important. She pointed to the icon indicating she was scared and anxious, which was a powerful moment. Then we knew how we could help her.

It is really positive that the John Farman ICU is addressing the psychological needs of its patients and their relatives, and it’s fantastic that this is being supported through the Addenbrooke’s charity.”

REFLECTIONS

Restorative dental surgeryA new dental operating microscope means that patients can now receive more specialist restorative dental surgery here in Cambridge, rather than having to travel further afield.Head and neck cancer patients receiving radiotherapy for example are at risk of osteoradionecrosis (bone tissue death). Previously they had to go to London if they needed treatment for infected teeth or gums or were faced with having their bad teeth removed. They might consequently lose too much weight, finding it more difficult to eat enticing, nutritious food.

Children affected by cleft lip and palate are also at a higher risk of dental decay. Now they can receive specialist treatment at Addenbrooke’s, meaning they can keep their teeth for longer. The microscope provides high magnification and improved ergonomics and can be used as a diagnostic and patient education instrument.Children’s ward 1894 - long

Spending supporters’ money wisely

Charitable support for Addenbrooke’s and the Rosie - a summary of the year.

Reflecting on Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust’s 2016-17 financial year, chairman Ros Smith

said: “Nearly a million people attended Addenbrooke’s and the Rosie last year, people like Dean,

Hazel, Joan, Mervyn and Ruth featured in this publication. They give their support to express gratitude for the care they and their loved ones have received. I am privileged to hear many stories like theirs and indeed have my own thanks to give.

That is why I am proud of what Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust has achieved this year to raise and spend charitable funds to help hardworking doctors, nurses and other caring staff to continue to transform lives. Thanks to supporters’ kindness, an additional £8.2m has been spent last year to support care and research, benefiting not just patients today but long into the future too.”
