At the invitation of the League of Friends of the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, Veronica and I attended the formal Opening Ceremony for the new MRI scanners at the hospital. We met many of the key staff involved including the head of department who explained that the new scanners will provide much better images than the previous machines and, crucially, will allow cardiac scans to be carried out within Shropshire for the first time. The plaque recording the gift of the scanners by the League of Friends was unveiled jointly by the Lord-Lieutenant and Ray Smith, Chairman of the League of Friends.
