A prestigious blue plaque was today unveiled by his son Tristram Charnley and the Mayor of Wigan outside the centre for hip surgery.
@Khaadi thank you to the girl serving me in the Trafford centre store 20 mins ago. She helped me pick an outfit for an Indian wedding I need to be there for in an hour! Life saver 🙏🏽
Looking forward to👇🏼 - an engaging multidisciplinary course. Lots of fun dealing with #msk#ultrasound in all things #hands#wrist#fingers. It will be very hands-on 🙌🏼 (no pun intended!) Delegates can check out latest #USS scanners & practice techniques with models / phantoms
