More infoA hospital has put name badges on doctors' medical hats - so patients know who is treating them. Medical professionals in orthopaedic theatres at Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton, have been trialling the new reusable theatre hats - each with personalised name badges. Somerset NHS Foundation Trust said patients have expressed a "strong preference" for knowing who is providing their care. Andy said: "Previously, our theatre hats were essentially single use plastic, thrown away after each operation. "These reusable theatre hats can be used hundreds if not thousands of times, and once they wear in a bit they will be more comfortable too."
