Savi Scout (Watford Charities Trust)
A one off fundraising event, Watford Hospital trust raised £200,000 for a new Savi Scout machine helping with diagnosis and identification of breast cancer.
This charity is specifically raising funds for Breast Cancer treatment. A quote from Cancer research Uk states “There are around 56,800 new breast cancer cases in the UK every year, that's more than 150 every day (2017-2019)”. The disease affects both women and men. New technology and medical advances help to diagnose and effectively treat Breast Cancer. Savi Scout is just that – it is a state-of-the-art surgical guidance system that utilises radar technology to precisely target and remove cancerous tissue during surgery improving recovery outcomes.
The fundraising drive was so successful the machine was purchased early 2025.
