The renal department performed
100 kidney transplants in 2010 – a

donors, recipients and their families
and friends. Guests heard from
clinicians on how important their

Spotlight on...
the mortuary team
Thanks to popular television dramas
we are all now familiar with the
world of Crime Scene Investigators
(CSI) who, when not hot on the heels
of their suspects, are visiting the
mortuary to identify vital clues.
The trust’s mortuary team, based in
Jenner Wing, may not receive regular
visits from CSIs like Gil Grissom or
Horatio Caine but they still play an
important role in the work of the
trust.
The team
Robin Dobinson, mortuary
manager, started working at
St George’s in 1978 at Hyde
Park Corner as a theatre
porter. He became a mortuary
technologist in 1980, the year
that the hospital moved to
Tooting. He became mortuary
manager in 2002.
