The comings and goings of April

Belinda from the office attended her refreshers First Aid Course, to keep her updated on the changes over the past three years and I also attended a First Aid Course.  We both got to practice on Resuscitation Annie who is the world’s most famous life sized doll.  The story of Resusci Anne is inextricably linked to the birth of resuscitation and her legacy continues to inspire ‘helping save lives’. In the wake of her success, modern day simulation training for today’s healthcare professionals owes much to this iconic manikin. While it is estimated that 300 million people worldwide have been trained in CPR on Resusci Anne.   The course we both attended was run by the Red Cross.

During the past month we have been extremely busy with the manufacturing and machining of Ceramic Components with all departments running at full capacity.   We have seen again this month some very interesting projects come through the shop floor, a few of which have proved rather challenging for our Engineers, but upon completion the achievement has been immense.  All the head scratching was soon forgotten and replaced by smiles.   Our work schedule for May is looking busy with an array of components requiring various manufacturing processes.
