🎉 Celebrating Excellence in Endoscopy! 👏

We’re thrilled to announce that our Endoscopy team at the RUH has achieved JAG accreditation – a prestigious national award recognising outstanding gastrointestinal endoscopy services.

Following a rigorous inspection, our unit was praised for its high standards in patient safety, experience, staff training, and clinical quality.

🏥 Rowan Neville, Support Specialty Manager for Medicine, said:
"This accreditation reflects the team's dedication to delivering the very best care. It’s a proud moment for us all!"

With over 12,000 procedures carried out last year and numbers set to rise, this recognition highlights our commitment to continuous improvement and exceptional patient care. 💙

🐾 Pippa and Lottie Visit the RUH! 🐾

We had some very special visitors at the RUH last week — our wonderful PAT dog Pippa and her human, Volunteer Kate! 💙

Pippa has been on maternity leave, busy raising 8 adorable puppies. While they’ve all found loving forever homes, one little pup, Lottie, is staying with Pippa and Kate — and today was her very first visit to the hospital! 🐶

Lottie is starting her journey to become a PAT dog just like her mum, and she was a natural — bringing smiles, joy, and lots of tail wags to everyone she met. 🥰

Thank you Pippa, Lottie, and Kate for brightening our day!

We’re so proud to celebrate Lorna-May, Staff Nurse on the Surgical Assessment Unit, who has been recognised following a heartfelt letter of praise sent by a patient to our Trust’s Managing Director.

The patient described Lorna-May as a “calming light—steady, reassuring, and full of heart.” Her compassion and care made a real difference during a difficult time, and her genuine kindness didn’t go unnoticed.

They shared how Lorna-May took time to listen, explain, and offer comfort—always with a smile and a caring spirit. “Lorna-May doesn’t just do her job, she lives it—with passion and purpose. People like Lorna are the heartbeat of the NHS.”

Her dedication to our Everyone Matters value and her ability to turn a frightening experience into something hopeful and uplifting truly deserves recognition.

👏 Thank you, Lorna-May, for your incredible impact and for making a real difference. You truly deserve this award!

☀️ What you need to know about UV (ultraviolet) radiation.

UV (ultraviolet) radiation from the sun can cause skin damage, premature ageing, and even skin cancer — even on cloudy days.

🧴 Protect yourself:
✅ Use SPF 30+ sunscreen with 4-star UVA protection
👒 Wear a wide-brimmed hat & UV-protective sunglasses
🌳 Stay in the shade between 11am–3pm
👶 Take extra care with children
📊 The UV Index helps you know when protection is needed — even in the UK, levels can reach 8 in summer.

Know your skin. Stay safe.
