Nick Clegg Officially Opens Ward P3
Monday 2nd November 2009
Nick Clegg, Sheffield MP and Leader of the Liberal Democrat Party, visited the Royal Hallamshire Hospital in October, to officially open the recently refurbished Ward P3. Professor Alejandro Madrigal, Scientific Director and President of the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation and Dr Antonio Pagliuca, President of the British Society of Blood and Marrow Transplantation, were also in attendance and unveiled a commemorative plaque.
All three joined patients, staff and supporters, to celebrate the success of the Sheffield Leukaemia and Blood Disorders Appeal, which raised £420,000 to provide new equipment for the haematology unit and much-needed additional isolation rooms. Chair Elizabeth Jones and Head of Fundraising Emma Dickens thanked everyone for their continued support and invaluable contribution to the appeal.
The charity would also like to thank all of you out there who contributed to our appeal, whether that was through donation of money, your time or efforts. Without your help, this project simply would not have been as successful in such a short space of time. Your contributions have made a significant difference to the lives of patients suffering from leukaemia and other blood disorders.
We do continue to accept donations for the appeal to help fund further projects within the unit. If you are interested in making a donation or would like to find out more, please contact Fundraiser Isla Denoon on 0114 226 3415 or at
