STAFF at Malton Hospital will be joining the ‘National Elf Service’ on Friday, December 14 to raise money to improve the experience of everyone who uses or visits the hospital.

York Teaching Hospital Charity is launching the National Elf Service campaign to raise funds at Christmas when patients often feel at their most vulnerable.

Teryll Garner, Sister at Malton Diagnostic Centre, said: “No one wants to be in hospital over Christmas and we want to make a difference to all those patients who might end up in a hospital bed instead of at home with their families.”
