A HEART doctor will be singing his Christmas single outside Great Western Hospital this week - and you can join him.

Musical cardiologist Dr Bill McCrea plans to sing the first track written for hospital group the Heart Throbs, That's Your Little Girl, around GWH's Christmas tree on Wednesday, raising money for Brighter Futures.

Dr McCrea said: “We want to make the Trust even more special and Brighter Futures provides wonderful and generous additions to the facilities, equipment and services we provide.”

Catherine Newman, head of Brighter Futures, said: “We’re so grateful for all the hard work that’s been put into organising this Christmas sing along and this important funding will go towards improving the quality of services provided by different teams across the trust.

“We’d love to make Christmas a special time for our staff, patients and their children, so to have everyone involved in the spirit of Christmas giving will be absolutely brilliant.”

The sing-a-long will be held at 4pm on Wednesday, 19 December by the Christmas tree, at the main entrance to GWH.

There will also be an opportunity to buy the CD at the hospital shop. The track can be streamed over Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music and Amazon Music.
