Radiographer recommends hospital orchestra
Friday 12th December 2008
A female radiographer has spoken about the enjoyment she derives from playing in her hospital's orchestra.
Janet Wisher works at Burslem's Haywood Hospital, which is run by Stoke on Trent Primary Care Trust.
She is among a group of medical professionals at the centre who relax after their shift by indulging in some musical activity, Stoke and Staffordshire paper the Sentinel reports.
Commenting on the hobby, Ms Wisher - who plays the flute - said: It's a really friendly orchestra and all about having fun. As people get to know us, we hope more people who are musicians in their spare time will join us."
As well as the radiographer, the group contains speech therapists, a biochemist, GPs and a medical secretary.
Recently, the orchestra entertained audiences at the Hartshill complex with a sell-out evening of carols and popular classics.
The event was the biggest so far for the musicians, who first performed at a carol concert two years ago.
