Harmonic scalpel is set to save lives
Surgeons at Cheltenham General Hospital can perform keyhole surgery on bowel cancer
patients for the first time. Cheltenham Lions Club raised £7,000 to buy a harmonic scalpel, meaning patients can have less invasive
surgery and a quicker recovery time. It can cut through tissue and seal blood vessels, so that the cut doesn't bleed at
all. On average patients should recover three days earlier.
Seat added to play area
This play area was originally presented by the Lions Club of Cheltenham in 1985.
This seat was given by the Lions Club to mark
the opening of the Lions Club Toddler Play Area in 2007.
