Congratulations to the Hip Fracture team who are the CBU2 Clinical Audit team of the year! Well done, you have all done fantastic work throughout this impossibly difficult year

As a team we’ve had changes over the last 18 months not all Covid related. We’ve had changes within our teams as well as a move of our department space. To see everyone so relaxed and happy with our visit from Thunder was heartwarming. BHNFT Ortho Therapy 🦴 Barnsley Hospital Therapy Huskies
