We’ve been celebrating our 250+ healthcare scientists during National Healthcare Science Week, which runs until Sunday (15 March). It’s an annual event to raise awareness of careers in healthcare science, and the role it has to play in patient care and treatment.    

In January this year, CQC inspectors visited our emergency departments to carry out unannounced inspections.

Keisha Osmond-Joseph, Lead Nurse for Haemoglobinopathy is the recent winner of our You Made a Difference Award after being nominated by not one, but three colleagues!

As schoolchildren across the globe celebrate World Book Day today (Thursday 5 March), one of our nurses has brought a fictional character to life for his own son.

As we gear up to celebrate the national Healthcare Science Week, which starts this Friday (6 March), we spoke to one of our own healthcare scientists, Keeley Thwaites. Keeley is our Lead Biomedical Scientist for Immunohistochemistry and Molecular Diagnostics.

She’s also one of four female scientists from our Trust to secure places on a prestigious leadership programme, run by the Office of the Chief Scientific Officer and Women in Science and Engineering (WISE).

This week we spoke to Ziena Abdullah, a locum consultant in obstetrics and gynaecology at our Trust. Dedicated Ziena loves what she does so much she even wrote a book during her maternity leave, which would help colleagues prepare for their entrance exam into the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.

The annual NHS Staff Survey published today (Tuesday 18 February) has highlighted a number of improvements at the Trust.

We’re delighted to announce the shortlisted nominees for our PRIDE Awards! Our annual PRIDE awards, which are kindly supported by our charity, recognise the fantastic staff and volunteers working at our hospitals. We know that so many of our staff go above and beyond their normal duties to deliver great care for our patient and support our colleagues.

This week we spoke to Katie Winstanley, one of six NHS graduate management trainees currently based within our Trust. Katie is working with our Women and Child Health division, and is also proud of her role as deputy chair of our LGBT+ staff network.
