Audiology department celebrates 50th anniversary
Thursday 8th January 2009
An audiology department has been celebrating having been in service for 50 years.
The department, which is based at Royal Berkshire Hospital, began life in a wooden hut situated in the grounds of the medical centre on London Road in Reading.
In honour of reaching its half centenary, a plaque was unveiled in the audiology department by Colin Maclean, chairman of the Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust, the Reading Evening Post reports.
He said: "This unit built a reputation. Consultants came together and worked together and that's one of the features of its success. That's why I'm so proud. What a wonderful job you've all done and are now doing. Thank you!"
Meanwhile, Andy Phillips, consultant head of audiology, added that staff try to provide the best quality of care they can and to make the best of their surroundings, adding that the centre attracts patients from all over the UK.
