Team Twenty Ten - George Korankye

Mark Walker, Superintendent Radiographer, is involved in another episode. The RAD- 121 flu virus is infecting the world population. The virus then mutates becoming undetectable. The only means of diagnosis involves radiographers. Mark's wife, Natasha, is employed by a pharmaceutical company and develops a vaccine which is potentially effective against RAD-121 and HIV in the laboratory. The exponential rise in casualties forces her to bypass clinical trials at great personal cost. Also, Mark's personal life leaves Natasha vulnerable to office 'smoothie', John Delaney. On Iona, archaeologist Hugh Payne unearths ancient bones. A group called the Metatarsians aim to disrupt the dig. They want the veil of secrecy maintained. The professor, assisted by radiographers, attempts to allay their fears. However, without a TEAM effort, will the potential cures and discoveries prove elusive? Beneficiaries of the book will be the Paediatric Special Interest Radiographers of The South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust (SEHSCT), in Northern Ireland. They won the UK Society of Radiographers Team of the Year Award. 'Un-resourced and without management guidance' they 'set to work to make changes and improve the services for paediatric patients.' The Team will receive 60% of the royalties from this book for their charitable hospital building and schools programmes at home and abroad. Read about their achievements in the foreword section.
