Operating theatre attire at Hollywood Hospital in Perth was like all other operating theatres; that was, until Jennie Lockwood hit on the idea to brighten up the place with colour and style. As a fundraiser for the April Tabitha Foundation building trip to Cambodia, Jennie added flair to the headwear that she could make at home by using a multitude of brightly patterned materials. Initially placing them in a basket at the front counter with a sign “Fundraiser for Cambodia”, the excitement of ownership of such a bright and colorful theatre hat soon overcame the hospital staff and orders came pouring in for six, eight and ten at a time! Permanent staff, casual staff, night staff, agency staff and even the orderlies wanted to be part of the fun. In addition, the colorful headwear has been sighted by a group of air force trainee pilots during a visit to the Lockwood household, and guess what? They, too, have discarded the regular institution issue and now wear the fun hats under their helmets as they learn to fly at supersonic speed across the skies of Perth.
