They have also been making surgical theatre caps for Bridlington and Scarborough Hospital surgical theatre teams. Helen said: “We would like to thank everyone who has helped raise the funds. The teams are provided with surgical caps, but sometimes they don’t fit correctly. The idea was to design a surgical cap after hearing hospital theatre staff were having skin rashes due to the disposable ones that were provided.” Pictured: the cheque presentation to the YAA’s representative Keiron Hardwick.
