As a thank you for their hard work throughout the pandemic, some of our lucky members of staff were invited to West Ham United’s training ground for a special visit.

On this day last year (15 December), our first Vaccination Hub opened at Queen’s Hospital, offering the jab to care home workers, alongside our own vulnerable frontline staff.

Several members of our staff were recently presented with awards by our Chief Executive, recognising their excellent work.

Patients are starting to benefit from closer collaboration between two neighbouring trusts in north east London which are pooling some resources this winter.

For months now our staff have been working hard, often at weekends, to tackle the backlogs caused by Covid-19. We are one of the best performing trusts in London when it comes to the delivery of high volume, low complexity surgery. Others in the NHS are keen to learn from us. 

To show their gratitude towards our staff for their continuing hard work and dedication to our patients, our senior leaders have been sharing festive messages of thanks.

Whether you’re looking for your first job out of education or perhaps you’re considering a career change, we have a fantastic development opportunity for you.

Last week, our theatre operational, clinical and improvement teams worked together to facilitate ‘TOWIE’ (Theatre Operational Week – Improving Efficiency) at both King George and Queen’s hospitals.
