HMAS Penguin recently hosted 20 radiographers from the Northern
Sydney sub-branch of the Australian Institute of Radiography.
The radiographers were attending a one-day conference in conjunction
with Balmoral Naval Hospital at Penguin.
With Sydney weather and views of the Heads at their finest, the
delegates were given a tour of the base facilities, with particular
interest shown in the hyperbaric chambers.
Talks were conducted on the primary casualty reception facility
(PCRF), the submarine underwater medicine unit, Naval dental services,
hydrographics and medical training facilities.
The day was organised by Mr Peter Slattery, the Chief Radiographer
at the Balmoral Naval Hospital and LCDR Eddie Burke.
