HERE IS A GOOD IDEA.................

Post by DuncaninFrance » Fri Nov 18, 2011 2:49 pm

When filling out your Christmas cards this year.
Take one card and send it to this address:

A Recovering Soldier
c/o Queen Elizabeth Hospital
Mindelsohn Way
Edgbaston
Birmingham
B15 2WB.

The Queen Elizabeth is a new build where in future, injured service personnel will get specialist trauma care. Frequently, providing you have survived having your limbs blown off in an explosion, or a bullet in the head, the QE is the first place you will regain consciousness as you are brought out of a medically induced coma. The old Selley Oak facility will eventually close.

Good idea Duncan, will have to have a look around to see if there is something similar here.
Was talking the other day to the boyfriend of one of the girls I had a lot to do with as a New Grad. She is now in the RAAF and doing the retrievals of our diggers wounded in Afghanistan, should be a good place to start.
The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who don't have it.
