Scrubbing up to take a peek at theatre

Last Sunday’s open day held at Care UK’s Barlborough NHS Treatment Centre   was a huge success. Over 175 people visited the Centre to have a look at the top-rated hospital’s facilities enjoy a behind the scenes  tour around the operating theatre, have mini health checks and speak to the consultants and staff.

Colin Royle, aged 65, travelled from Askern in Doncaster to have a look around the Centre. Having suffered for a number of years with his knee, he realises that a knee replacement is the answer to his problem.  Colin’s wife recently had knee replacement surgery at the Centre and he’s now hoping to also be treated at Barlborough.  He commented: “After witnessing how well my wife was treated and her excellent recovery, I felt a tour around the theatre and meeting a consultant at the Open Day would be a good opportunity to have my questions answered. I now know that Barlborough is the right choice for me.”

Graeme Kendall, Manager at Care UK’s Barlborough NHS Treatment Centre said: “Visitors were fascinated with the theatre tours and they proved so popular that we had to set up a booking system  so that everyone had the opportunity to see behind the scenes..  I'm sure all of my colleagues will join me in saying a huge thank you to everyone who came along.  The support we receive from former patients is truly wonderful.”
