Princess Eugenie of York, the Patron of The RNOH Charity’s Redevelopment Appeal, visited the hospital on Friday 7 July to officially open the new wing of our Spinal Cord Injury Centre (SCIC).
During her visit, Princess Eugenie was given a tour of the new wing, and talked to many of the Centre’s patients. She learned how they sustained their injuries, and the ways in which the SCIC has helped them to recover, and to regain their independence.

The 2017 Buttercup Walk took place to raise money for The RNOH Charity. The event was attended by both patients and staff with stalls and rides for all to enjoy. Master of Ceremonies for the event was Mr Aresh Nejad, Medical Director and Mary Tye, a patient of the RNOH opened the Walk.
Mary, who is 96 years old and an incomplete C4-5 tetraplegic, broke her neck in 2008 and subsequently received successful surgery and rehabilitation at the RNOH. Determined to walk again, Mary's personal mantra is "I can and I will".
