Our first day in the PoP shop in Montrose is going well. Thank you to all who have visited.
We have been donated several small electrical items. Is there anyone out there who would be happy to PAT test these for us free of charge, as a contribution to our charity? We would then be able to sell them.

The following is an extract from an email we received from a patient who had a recent stay in the Surgical Unit, Stracathro.

Excellent feedback for the Surgical Unit team. Well done!

"I have just spent a couple of days at Stracathro having a new shoulder fitted. I didn't even know that such a possibility existed!
My reason for writing is to see what I can do in the way of a small "Thankyou" to the ward for the wonderful care and attention I was given whilst there. I have never seen such a busy team of nurses - and all so cheery and helpful.
I do understand that they all may have thought that they were only doing their job, but the calming effect they had on this concerned patient made it all so much easier for me. I have done some feedback through "Care Opinion" also.
I would like to ask if you would accept a donation from my wife and myself of £100 to be used for Stracathro Hospital. If it was within your ability to go along with this we would be very happy if it was able to be used specifically for the benefit of the ward I was in - the Day and Stay surgical unit under the leadership of SCN Morag Gray.

Can you help? Friends of Stracathro are looking for a venue to hold a pop-up shop. Somewhere in Montrose, Forfar or Brechin would be ideal and preferably rent free, as all money raised will be used to enhance the care and treatment of patients attending Stracathro Hospital. Please comment if you know of anywhere that is available.
