Professor Nick Bacon, Clinical Director, Oncologic & Soft Tissue Surgery at Fitzpatrick Referrals, said:
“Rumba has been a keen supporter of the Interventional Radiology (IR) service here in Guildford. We have been actively working with our human IR colleagues, especially from the Royal Surrey County Hospital, to advance the scope and range of procedures we’re able to offer our patients. The added complexity and required skill set means more people are needed in theatre, and this generous gift of the new gowns allows this to happen.”
The lead gowns worn by FROST’s veterinary staff have to be engineered to the highest standards using state-of-the-art materials. This ensures they are comfortable to wear as well providing essential protection. They must also be checked regularly to ensure their continued shielding effectiveness.
One of Rumba’s Founding Trustees, Jim Hindle said: “We know that the brilliant work being carried out by FROST is a team effort, and obviously the more colleagues that can be equipped with protective clothing in theatre, the smoother the procedures will be. We’re delighted to invest in pioneering therapies that are making such a difference to the animals in FROST’s care.”
