Save the date for our Community Open Day | News

On Saturday 28 June, you are invited to come and see behind the scenes at Royal Surrey Hospital at our Community Open Day!  It’s on from 11am until 3pm and will be packed with activities for everyone, whether you’re keen to see surgical robots in our theatres, take a tour of our cutting-edge histopathology lab or indulge in some free face painting, games and competitions – with lots of prizes!  

The feedback last time was brilliant, here’s just a sample:

“The atmosphere was amazing!”

“Fantastic day - great job to all involved!”

“Thoroughly enjoyable! A wonderful open day at the Royal Surrey County Hospital!”

This year, thanks to the generous support of Royal Surrey Charity, which is celebrating 30 years of supporting Royal Surrey hospitals, plans are afoot to make it bigger and better!

If you’re interested in a healthcare related career, we’ll have sessions running throughout the event for you to hear directly from our specialists on how to take the first steps into the profession.

There’ll be loads of chances to see the skills of our teams in action. Our radiologists will demonstrate how to take an X-ray, our audiologists will give a glimpse into their kit to support hearing, our community teams will be here to showcase the services they offer from birth to older age and our physios, dieticians and speech therapists will be available to talk through the treatments they provide.  

On top of all that – we’ll have free blood pressure tests, our specialist resuscitation team will run classes on how to give lifesaving CPR as well as first aid training and tips on how to get the best night’s sleep. Our radiotherapy team will be running tours of our new Cancer Centre and we’ll be hosting a whole range of our partner charities and organisations who’ll be sharing their expertise highlighting what they can offer our community.  

Among all the excitement, you’ll be able to see some of the amazing work currently underway using artificial intelligence in our diagnoses and how the building work is going on our new Cancer and Surgical Innovation Centre.  

We’ll also be welcoming our partner emergency services giving you, your friends and family the chance to see a fire engine, ambulance and police car up close.  

They’ll be live music, food and loads more activities to be announced before the day.
