Physionet, Berkeley - Cleaning old NHS equipment January 2023
Mon, Jan 16th 2023 at 11:00 am - 3:00 pm
Members, together with other Clubs, help to prepare a shipment of surplus old NHS equipment for despatch to Ukraine.
A great day at Physionet in Berkeley preparing a shipment of surplus medical equipment for shipping to Ukraine. It all had to be serviceable, cleaned and made ready for shipping. Several members of Cotswold Tyndale Rotary joined other local Rotary groups with the mountain of equipment.
Our Secretary Stephen posed for a celebratory photo to mark his hard wok and his love of yellow marigolds. We know he won't be needing these for many years to come, especially as he then probably cycled home in time for a well earned couple of beers.
