A presentation of two much needed paediatric tympanic thermometers was made to the Accident & Emergency Department of the Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital in Margate by members of Rutupiae Lodge No.6611.

This type of thermometer measures body temperature by detecting infra-red radiation from the tympanic membrane in the ear, and is growing in popularity due to the ease of use and minimal distress to the child patient.
