Photo of the new MRI Scanner arriving at Darlington Memorial Hospital last week – due to its size, it was dropped in through the roof! When installed, the Hospital plan a big celebration.

Both scanners, including one at Bishop Auckland Hospital, are now in place and once final finishing touches are made to the new MRI suite at Darlington, patients will begin to benefit from it later this month. Meanwhile, there will be no break in service and Darlington Hospital will continue using the mobile MRI Scanners for the next few weeks.

Don’t forget the charity appeal continues. Philips have kindly deferred payment until the end of 2018 so we can continue fundraising. Please keep arranging events, making donations and encouraging others to do so.
