Save The Royal

Brompton Paediatric Surgical

Unit

It’s the country's leading provider of complex surgery of the chest and lungs.

It was given the highest possible 'excellent‘ rating by the Healthcare Commission.

They carry out over 8,500 heart procedures such as angiograms, angioplasties, electrophysiological procedures and the fitting of pacemakers.

... And they saved my life!

The Royal Brompton

Children’s heart surgery at The Royal Brompton Hospital is under threat of closure!

This place is special to me because I have just had major heart surgery s there and I quite

simply owe my life to them.

Elliott Dallas

Please take a few minutes to read this.

It’s in line to lose it’s children's heart surgical unit because the government thinks that three centres in London is too many.

This just doesn’t make sense, and will put children’s lives at risk.

The intensive care staff were amazing; some of the most talented, inspiring and likable people I have ever met.

They helped me every step of the way; from walking, eating and generally recovering.

These are the two leading surgeons that carried out surgery on me during my 36 hour operation.

Yeah, that’s right

36 hrs!

This whole experience has made my family much closer in the process and shows your true friends, especiallywhen you need themthe most, so thanks...

...anyway hospital

isn’t just for being sick.
