HEALTH Trusts throughout Merseyside are holding celebration events. Some include:
University Hospital Aintree is planning guided tours of an operating theatre tomorrow for the first time – though there will be no operations in progress. The tours will also take in the hospital’s physiotherapy and pharmacy departments, chaplaincy and the clinical science centre where medical research is carried out. The tours will be at 1pm and 3pm and car parking is free throughout the day.
A 60-mile bike ride is being held by Cheshire and Wirral Partnership, from Macclesfield to Clatterbridge, and Sefton Primary Care Trust is joining forces with The National Deaf Children’s Society to stage a health roadshow at Southport Centre for Health and Wellbeing.
And today South Liverpool MP Maria Eagle will join staff at Garston’s Sir Alfred Jones Memorial Hospital to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Labour’s NHS.
SEE tomorrow’s Liverpool Daily Post for a full 60th anniversary special report.
