Following the many requests from patients to give a donation for medical equipment to aid patient care and services, the Hillview Surgery Charitable Trust has been set up, charity number 1056914.

The charity is overseen by the Trustees, Mrs D Wilkinson, Anthony Pooley and Keith Smith. They act independently of the partnership and ensure that funds are used appropriately for the benefit of all our patients.

Our aim is to provide the best possible service to our patients by ensuring that our new, attractive, modern building is equipped to the highest standards. The trust has already been able to purchase many items which are not presently available through existing NHS funding arrangements.

Any donation, however small, is most welcome. Please ask at reception for details.

CHARITY CHALLENGE

Staff at Hillview Medical Centre will be practising what they preach this summer as they put on their walking boots for charity.

Starting at Dover on the 25th of August the team of doctors, nurses and receptionists will embark on a gruelling 140 mile relay walk all the way back to Woking along the North Downs Way.

They hope to raise over £1000 for the Hillview Medical Centre Patient Charity to buy much needed items of medical equipment such as a new lung function machine and minor surgery equipment not otherwise funded by the NHS.

The final leg is the 12 miles from Newlands Corner, through Guildford and along the canal towards Woking. Look out for them in their distinctive T shirts when they arrive home at the Hillview Medical Centre at lunch time on Tuesday the 31st August.

If you would like to sponsor them please either contact them on 01483 766333 or drop into the Hillview Medical Centre on Heathside Road (or our branch surgery at Goldsworth Park Health Centre in Denton Way).

Thank you to all that supported the staff - we raised £2636.00!
