A golf day has raised £7,500 for Southampton’s new heart failure unit.

Now in its fifteenth year, Remedy Oak Golf Club’s annual event saw 84 players competing to support renovations at the University Hospital Southampton’s D2 ward.

Funds were amassed through a charity auction and raffle.

The unit aims to become the UK’s leading heart failure facility.
