Thank you to @jilliclaireT who has made a fabulous donation of 76 goodie bags. These were given to our respiratory wards to acknowledge the hard work of both teams during the peak. Claire is a body shop at home consultant and her customers gifted the items to make up the bags.

We have launched a new procedure to help speed up the diagnosis of lung cancer and serious infections. The endobronchial ultrasound guided biopsy uses a £160,000 new ultrasonic bronchoscopy system and reduces waits for results and diagnosis for patients.
