TRAUMA and orthopaedic staff at Warrington Hospital can look forward to improved training facilities after a donation from a medical supplier.

Thanks to product supplier Biomet-Merck, budding trainees will now have the opportunity to work with two high-tech monitors worth £1,500.

The equipment will be used by medical and nursing theatre staff in surgical skills courses.

Paul Sherry, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, said: "We are grateful to Biomet-Merck for their generous donation. It will enable us to continue providing the highest standards of care to the patients of Warrington."
