Ellie’s 11th Birthday. She is very excited and says she has a ‘cool’ tartan dress.

I have just returned from Wexham Park where I hand delivered a cheque for £49,290. There is further money to come from the gift aid and this will be handed over as soon as we get it for Her Maj’s R and C.

What I didn’t know and what makes all the difference for me, is that the Oxylog 3000 transporter ventilators are not just to be used in ambulances. They are to be used to move patients within the hospital as well. In the past it was not easy to take someone on a static ventilator for a CT. One way was to use a bag with a doctor squeezing it to regulate the air but this is arduous if the squeezing has to be kept up for any length of time and it uses more people. Now with the 3 Oxylogs they can whip people all over the shop for CT scans, X- rays, cardio inspections, all sorts. So these ventilators mean that ITU can improve the level of care they give their patients. Bloody marvelous ! And well done to everyone who gave.

I thought you’d want to know.
