BBC Scotland accused of not reading the P&J as Inverness companies join forces to produce face shields

The P&J? Wot is that? I sleep in em!

Not anywhere in the BBC, north or south, but in the P&J yesterday and passed to us by one of our regular feeders, Ann Forbes:

Two Inverness companies have joined forces to produce face shields to help protect frontline NHS staff during the pandemic.

Workers at 4c Engineering and Aseptium, who are neighbours at Inverness Campus, contacted Raigmore Hospital to ask how they could use their expertise in technology, rapid manufacturing and decontamination of surgical instruments to help NHS staff.

They have now produced 800 shields and aim to give 1,000 to health workers there.

The design is being made freely available online with full manufacture guidance, on the condition design credit is given and that manufacture is non-profit.

Wider adoption is already under way with Lochgilphead-based Midton Engineering manufacturing the kit for hospitals in Oban and Mid-Argyll.
