Well that's a new one on me!! A heli-pad at Wythenshawe Hospital..

I was going to say something along the lines of what are you talking about??? but instead I got the opportunity whilst driving past at work today to go and have a peek.

Lo and behold there it is in pristine condition

A quick chat with the paramedics got me info that the burns unit at Withington has now moved to Wythenshawe and as such I suspect there will be less arrivals now into Platt Fields park as the condition of the casualty and specialist requirements will determine if they go to Wythenshawe or the MRI. So there could be a few more landers in this area in future.

They also told me of all sorts of "rumours" of a helimed facility being considered at EGCB as this particular area is poorly served by the a/c located at EGNH and one in W Yorks.. don't know where EGNM??

Only time will tell.... anyway seem to have gone off topic a bit but thought it worth a mention
