Last week we celebrated Biomedical Science Day.

It was a great opportunity to highlight the incredible work we do in Pathology. The baking competition was a success, raising £98 for Blue Skies Hospitals Fund, and the staff quiz was so much fun with everyone showcasing their knowledge. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make the day such a success. Let's continue to celebrate and support each other in all the amazing work we do.

With special thanks to Janet Barnsley for judging and a huge congratulations to Sami Wilkie - who won Pathology Star Baker for her Microbiology themed cupcakes and the Cell Path Huns who clenched the quiz win!

Thank you to our very generous anonymous donor for the start baker prize of a £25 gift voucher!
