Royal Centre for Defence Medicine Fund Raiser

Bolehall Manor club play host last night to a fund raising event for Royal Centre for Defence Medicine, the place packed it was fantastic to see so many people supporting this cause.

The RCDM provides immediate care and surgery to our injured soldiers and continues to provide rehabilitation care for all those injured in conflict and war. These nurses, surgeons and medics not only put our soldiers back together on the "front line" but they support them back to health on their return to the UK at Sellyoak. they are often the unsung heroes whilst the the media is full of pics of events in far flung lands. These people of performing some of the best medical work in the world.

We all owe a debt of Thanks to these medics and also our thanks to the people in the room last night organising events and raising funds. Often these specific charities are over shadowed by larger campaigns  who also do fantastic work but often get the lions share of fund raising.

It was a privilege to meet some of the team last night and listen to some of their stories and here of some of the patients they have dealt with either in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere in the world as well as back in the UK at Sellyoak.

Great job being done.
