Trophies modelled on surgical instruments were handed out at the annual departmental night out at The Fleece, Barkisland.

An igel is a breathing device for when patients are anaesthetised. There were also trophies shaped like facemasks, retractors and dissectors!

Dr Steven Hill arranged awards  on a Masked Ball Theme and styled the trophies. And colleagues turned out in an amazing array of masks. (see attached pics)
