Cardiac physiologists to benefit from donation
Tuesday 1st June 2010
Individuals in cardiac jobs at Kingston Hospital are set to receive a boost, after one of its doctors donated a new £47,000 piece of machinery to its heart unit.
As reported in the Surrey Comet, Dr William Culling's Cardiac Development Group contributed a new echo device, which records the structure and function of the heart, to the division.
Commenting on the donation, Elizabeth Hammond, senior chief cardiac physiologist at the facility, said the technology will "enable our physiologists to provide a more detailed and comprehensive report for the diagnosing doctors - this will certainly improve treatment for our patients".
She went on to express her thanks to everyone who donated something to the hospital, including Zipper's Bowling Association, which gave a £1,410 cheque to the establishment.
Including cardiac physiotherapists, Kingston Hospital employs some 2,600 people, with a further 300 members of staff working for contractors on behalf of the institution.
