title: Life at the Britfor Military Hospital in Kosovo.
abstract: Life is full of new experiences and on 27 April 2000 a new one occurred for me. As a Nursing Officer in QARANC I was deployed for three months to the Britfor Military Hospital in Pristina, Kosovo to join 22 Field Hospital for my first operational tour. I was to be the only theatre sister in charge of two surgical teams which comprised five theatre technicians, two anaesthetists and two surgeons (one general and one orthopaedic).
