Tests on the quality of air used by divers have been carried out by Plymouth’s trading standards officers.
As Plymouth proudly carries the name Britain’s Ocean City and is one of the most popular locations for scuba diving in the UK, it is important that the compressed air supplied to divers meets the standards for quality and lack of pollutants.
Derriford Hospital celebrated the official opening of the new life-saving helipad yesterday (Friday 5 June) with its first ever landing of a Search and Rescue helicopter.
Special guests attended the event, along with key members of the hospital, ambulance and building staff to celebrate the great impact that the helipad will have on patient care and treatment.
