Father Hudson’s Caritas, based in Coleshill, Birmingham, is part of a network of charities throughout the Archdiocese of Birmingham. It is a Social Care Agency which cares for the elderly, for those with learning, physical and sensory disabilities, for children and families and also provides fostering and community projects.
Samantha Doubleday, Hospital Director, Practice Plus Group Hospital Birmingham, says: “Our Head of Clinical Services, Leanne Eardley, supports and works with the Father Hudson charity throughout the year, so when we heard from her that the charity were appealing for Easter eggs to help vulnerable families, we rose to the challenge!”
“The work that Father Hudson’s does to support, guide and nurture children and their families to overcome any barriers or challenges they may face is so vital and we were happy to help. I’m proud of our hospital team for doing their best to personally donate as many chocolate eggs as they could for the cause.”
The newly opened Practice Plus Group Hospital, Birmingham, currently has no waiting list for NHS or private patients. It specialises in hip and knee replacements, ophthalmology, endoscopy, diagnostics and general surgery. NHS patients in England can ask their GP for a referral to the hospital.
Private patients can self-refer to its Wellsoon private health care from Practice Plus Group, which offers fast access to surgery in as few as 4-6 weeks of seeing a consultant. Initial consultations cost £95 and include x-rays, bloods and swab tests. Visit www.practiceplusgroup.com
