Ribble Valley patients attend­ ing appointments at Burnley General Hospital orthe Royal Blackburn Hospital could benefit from six new ultra­ sound scannerswhich have


just entered service follow­ ing a £250,000 investment by East Lancashire Hospitals NHSTrust.


The top of the range Toshiba Aplio 500 and Xario200s pro­ duce high-resolution images, giving patients and hospital


staff greater confidence in di­ agnosis. Julie White, Clinical Lead


for Ultrasound at the Trust, said: “Ultrasound technol­ ogy is advancing rapidly so it is important we update our equipment to maintain high standards of patient care and continue providing safe, high quality ultrasound services.” “The scans are performed


by our team of highly trained sonographers who are all ad- ■ vanced practitioners, consult­ ant radiologists or consultant obstetricians.” Burnley General.Hospi-


tal patients will benefit from threeofthenewToshibaAplio scanners, located in the main


x-ray department, the Phase 5 X-ray department and the Ante-Natal department in the Lancashire Women’s and Newborn Centre. At the Royal Blackburn,


Toshiba scanners have re­ placed older equipment with­ in the Antenatal clinic and Vascular Laboratory. “Patients throughout East


Lancs can be reassured that our new scanners at Burnley and Blackburn hospitals pro­ duce even better quality im­ ages than the old equipment they replaced,” added Julie White. The scanners are particu­


larly useful for the imaging of liver lesions.

Members ofClitheroe Moun­ taineering Club celebrated the May Day Bank Holiday week­ end with a four-night stay at Braemar Youth Hostel. On Saturday one group


parked at Inverey to ride the eight-kilometre mountain bike trail to the ruined Altan- our Lodge to climb the north ridge ofthe Munro, An Socach, and were rewarded with excel- ■ lent views towards the Glen Shee ski area. Another party set out from


Invercauld Bridge to take the forest road towards the Falls of Garbh Allt and Sandy Loch to reach Loch nan Eun at the base of the craggy cliffs of The Stu-


ic. Here members headed due south with ice axes, crampons and rope to climb the rather under graded Winter route up the facing steep ridge. Other expeditions in ­


cluded an ascent ofthe Mun- ros, Monadh Mor and Beinn Bhrotain, via a mountain bike ride up to beyond White Bridge from the Linn of Dee, an ascent of Braemar’s nearest peak, Morrone, and a 57-mile bikeridefromBraemar taking in the Spittal of Glenshee, the


Bridge of Cally and the Linn ofDee. On Sunday due to persist­


ent, heavy rain, most mem­ bers headed to the end ofthe


road near Mar Lodge to take the low level walk up to the


falls o f The Punch Bowl via GlenQuoichanduptothepass


of Clais Fhearnaig, descend­ ing into Glen Lui to Claybokie and back to Mar Lodge. On the final day one group


walked along the western shore of Loch Muick to the shooting lodge o f Glas-allt- Shiel, while another group climbed Lochnagar via Fox­ es' Well, and third climbed the munros o f The Cairn- well, Cam Aosda and Cam a’Gheoidh. Details of the club’s pro­


gramme are on Clitheroe MountaineeringClubwebsite.
