Our £4 million PET–CT Scanner Campaign made a strong start when it launched in summer 2025, but there is still a long way to go. That’s why, to kick off fundraising in 2026, RUHX released a new campaign video that will be shown on waiting-room screens across the hospital as well as at RUHX events.
The video is centred on the theme of giving back the gift of time. It highlights how rapid, accurate diagnosis and treatment planning – made possible through PET–CT scanning – helps doctors deliver the best care for their patients. In many cases, this leads to improved outcomes that give people more time back with family and friends, and the chance to return to the hobbies and activities they love. The video offers a powerful, human perspective on what investing in a new PET–CT scanner could mean for patients from our local community, including those undergoing scans as part of cancer, dementia, rheumatology and cardiovascular treatment at the RUH.
The film features Dr Sheila Jen, who regularly uses PET–CT scans to guide patient treatment, alongside four patients – Sue, Alan, Philip and John – all of whom have recently undergone PET–CT scanning as part of their care. Each shares how treatment at the RUH is helping them get back to enjoying life.
