  • Only attend A&E in life-threatening emergencies.
  • For non-urgent issues, please contact your GP, your local pharmacy, or NHS 111 (online or by phone).

Appointments and planned care

  • If your appointment is affected, we will contact you directly.

5,000th Covid vaccine at our hub!

Sunny receiving covid jab in the vaccination hub

Sunny having his vaccine Earlier this morning, the 5,000th person received their first vaccine injection since opening the doors to our Covid-19 vaccination hub. Sunny Choudhary, a Radiology Support Worker at Queen’s Hospital, has worked for us for more than four years and was “excited” to receive his first jab…and a complimentary box of Cadbury’s Heroes for being the 5,000th person!

Speaking about the vaccine, Sunny said: “I feel very happy and excited to receive my first jab. I want to keep people around me safe and I also want to get back on a plane ASAP, so it was great to receive the vaccine. I would encourage others to book their slot if possible as it has made me feel a lot safer, however it is important to respect personal choice. I was surprised and proud to be the 5,000th person to receive the vaccine at our hub and I am also going to enjoy my chocolates, which I will be sharing with the Radiology team.”

Over recent weeks, we’ve been delighted to vaccinate not just BHRUT staff but also local authority and NELFT colleagues working in care homes.
