Donation enables compex surgery to be carried out on Island

The funding has come from the Henry Bloom Noble Healthcare Trust and now ensures that people needing the complicated surgery won’t need to go off Island.

Thanks to a hefty donation, complicated joint replacement and revision surgery can now be undertaken on-Island at Noble’s Hospital.

The funding has come from the Henry Bloom Noble Healthcare Trust and now ensures that people needing the complicated surgery won’t need to go off Island.

It’s estimated that roughly 30 people on the Island require the treatment per year.

The Department of Health have praised the move saying it will not only prove more cost-effective, but will allow patients to have their operation closer to home, without the added anxiety and inconvenience of having to travel to UK hospitals.
