For ten years , the James Dyson Foundation has supported advancing medical care at the Royal United Hospitals Bath ( RUH ). Contributing nearly £ 5m to the hospital since 2010 in the form of donations , design work and research . It has helped develop pioneering neonatal , and soon-to-be , cancer treatment facilities for the South West of England .
James and Deirdre Dyson have a longstanding connection to the Royal United Hospitals Bath ( RUH ) having welcomed two of their children , Jake and Sam , at the hospital , and the James Dyson Foundation has supported the hospital over the past ten years .
The James Dyson Foundation donated £ 4million towards a pioneering new Cancer Centre : the Dyson Cancer Centre . The donation is the largest in the hospital ’ s history .
It will follow the same approach of considered architectural , design and medical decisions that were taken when building the neonatal unit to significantly improve patient experience , reduce stress and improve clinical outcomes . There is an emphasis on natural light to give bright , spacious interiors , and removing sources of noise to provide a more relaxing environment .
It will also provide space for relatives and carers to stay overnight . Inpatient rooms will be at the top of the building so that patients have the best views over the surrounding countryside . There will be flexible spaces to reflect , or to have private conversations .
