Radiology colleagues at Macclesfield Hospital to scale new heights to raise funds for a new waiting area

Colleagues from Macclesfield District General Hospital’s Radiology service will be hitting new heights in July all in aid of raising funds to improve patient experience within the department.

Fifteen staff from across the team will be hiking up Mount Snowdon to raise funds to enable improvements to the existing waiting area and improve the experience for patients when attending the hospital.

Improvements will include cosmetic improvements, better/additional changing facilities and a better seating area.

Melanie Hurst, Cross Sectional Imaging Assistant in the Radiology department, said:

“Your generous support will allow us to create a more patient-friendly space, making each visit as comfortable and positive as possible.  

“The team is dedicated to making the best of this activity and are hoping to raise as much as possible.

“We are all very excited to be part of the hike and will be completing it in our own time with our patients comfort and wellbeing in mind.” 

Based at Macclesfield Hospital, the Radiology Department is dedicated to providing the highest quality diagnostic imaging and patient care with the use of advanced imaging technologies such as X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, and ultrasounds.

These techniques diagnose and monitor a wide variety of medical conditions, ensuring that patients receive the most accurate and timely treatments possible and play a crucial role in detecting diseases early, guiding treatments, and improving overall patient outcomes.
