Lucy Eaton, one of our security officers at Queen’s Hospital, started her night shift last week with no idea she was about to become a hero. It was thanks to her courage and quick thinking that she saved the life of one of our patients.

A second letter of thanks has been sent to the households of our staff, from Chair Mike Bell and Chief Executive Tony Chambers, as staff continue to work in unprecedented circumstances.

We are delighted to be working in partnership with Marie Curie to launch a new Daisy volunteer role to provide support to our end of life patients, while also supporting their families and carers.

Congratulations to Sas Banerjee, Consultant General, Laparoscopic and Colorectal Surgeon and Endoscopy and Joint Gastroenterology Lead at our Trust, who has been appointed as Endoscopy Clinical Director for NHS London.

Victoria Sullivan, practice development sister in our Intensive Care Unit (ICU) spoke to the Today programme on BBC Radio 4 this morning (Wednesday 13 January), giving an insight into one of her toughest moments during the pandemic.

In a year in which the Covid-19 pandemic affected us all in some way, these families got some festive joy when their babies arrived on Christmas Day.

Congratulations to our Red2Green team who have reduced the number of patients in our beds for 21 days or more – known as ‘super-stranded’ patients – from 199 to 98.

Earlier this morning, the 5,000^th person received their first vaccine injection since opening the doors to our Covid-19 vaccination hub.
