The IPC is a specialised surgical tool that helps remove soft and hard tissue, and bone during surgery in a less painful and less invasive way. Surgeons can connect multiple hand tools at one time, control the speed and pressure during wound irrigation, and can easily navigate a large touchscreen menu. “Over the past two years, as a result of population increases in the area, there has been a tripling in the number of children under 18 having ENT surgery at Canterbury Hospital including removing tonsils and/or adenoids and the insertion of grommets,” said Sue Baker, Community Participation & Volunteer Manager at Canterbury Hospital. “This growth has put pressure on our service delivery and the funding available for us to deliver these services. This new equipment will improve the surgical experience for 25 people every week who have ENT surgery and reduce their overall recovery time.” Paul Dunn, Chairman of Canterbury League Club said: “Our Associate Professor Daniel Novakovic from Canterbury Hospital’s long-standing partnership with Canterbury Hospital saw us Ear, Nose and Throat Department with the new surgical tool commit $67,000 in 2020 – a significant sum that went towards purchasing surgical tools, umbrella sunshades, and refitting their maternity ward with a baby bathing room and kitchen. The hospital plays a vital role in our community so we are proud to help where we can.” VALE KEN McCAFFERY The Club pays tribute to former Canterbury League Club Secretary/Manager, Ken McCaffery who passed away on 6 February 2021, aged 91 years. During his 10 years at Canterbury, from 1969 until 1980, Ken was responsible for bringing top Australian and international artists and shows to the club. He also introduced a quality dining room and mixed lounge as part of club renovations; and opened up club membership to women. A talented rugby league player, McCaffery played for Easts, represented Queensland in 17 interstate games from 1952, and was selected for the Kangaroo tour in 1953. He also featured in Australia’s 1957 Rugby League World Cup victory against Great Britain. Former director of the club, Gary McIntyre, said “I was fortunate to be on the board during the 10 years that Ken was at the club. He was a wonderful man, very popular in the club and highly respected throughout the club industry.” “Canterbury extends its deepest sympathies to the McCaffery family and we wish them peace and comfort. Thank you to Ken for his decade of service to the Club – our sincerest condolences,” said Paul Dunn, Chairman of Canterbury League Club.
