Mandie Davis has worked at our Trust for ten years, however her most recent role, as the UK’s first Macmillan advanced support worker for an Acute Oncology Service, has proved the perfect fit.

We've marked World Patient Safety Day (Friday 17 September), which this year focuses on maternity and neonatal care, by sharing initiatives which we’ve introduced to make our services safer.

We are delighted that our Healthcare Assistant (HCA) Intern team has been named Team of the Year at the Healthcare Support Worker (HCSW) Awards.

Pippa Ward, senior sister in our operating theatres at King George Hospital, has retired after over 30 years at our Trust. She trained with us in 1984 and spent almost her entire career in our hospitals – with just a five-year gap at Basildon Hospital in the 90s.
