We’re the first in England to carry out a coil embolisation using a Nautilus device, the latest technology for treating brain aneurysm, a weakness in the wall of a blood vessel in the brain. Two patients had the procedure at Queen’s Hospital on Tuesday 8 July.

We hosted a special event to mark the achievement, which was attended by Ilford South MP Jas Athwal and the Mayor of Redbridge, Beverley Brewer.

Patients, staff, and visitors at King George Hospital were able to walk in and receive free health checks thanks to a visit from the Healthy Redbridge Bus.

Teams and colleagues across our Trust have been shortlisted in a number of upcoming awards – including the National Diversity Awards.

When Lesley began her NHS career in 1987 as a filing clerk at Barking Hospital, she was responsible for managing medical records and X-rays. In those days records were stored manually and X-rays came on heavy film.

We’ve been named Training Hospital of the Year by future surgeons from all three of the main orthopaedic training centres in north east London.
