NURSES UNIFORMS

The Maternity Staff at Gisborne Hospital now have a new image. Previously their uniforms were those white smocks with red accessories. They have been replaced by colourful Teal Polo tops with navy blue culottes, skirts, shorts or slacks because they considered the white uniforms to be impractical. As there is no longer a risk of infection it was felt that an image update was long overdue. The new uniform carries the C.H.E. Logo and identification of the occupation of the staff.
