We are wishing a happy Easter to those celebrating across Birmingham and Solihull.

Easter is a sacred time in the Christian calendar, a season of reflection, renewal and hope. Christians observe Holy Week, reflecting on the events leading up to the first Easter - Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday.

Easter Sunday is a major celebration for Christians, as it marks Jesus’s resurrection, bringing hope and new life. For some Christians from Eastern Orthodox and Coptic traditions who follow the Julian calendar, Easter will be celebrated later in April.

A big thank you to our colleagues, who are working across our hospitals and community services over the bank holiday weekend.

Colleagues and patients from Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham’s (QEHB) radiotherapy department have bid a fond farewell to Jean Mannan, who has hung up her apron after more than 30 years volunteering at the hospital.

Jean first started volunteering at the tea bar in radiotherapy in 1995 after spotting an advert for volunteers in her local church. Together with her fellow tea bar volunteers, she has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for UHB Charity through the sale of tea, coffee, cakes, chocolates and more.

The funds raised have contributed towards a hospital radiotherapy machine, helped refurbish the radiotherapy waiting area, bought presents for paediatric patients to celebrate finishing their radiotherapy, and paid for other radiotherapy equipment.

Jean, who is 82, will be missed by the department and hospital, not just for her outstanding fundraising efforts, but for her warmth and conversation too. She has long been a friendly face for colleagues and patients in the department.

Jean said: “The best part about volunteering has been the conversations. I’ve talked to thousands of patients and got to know some of them really well. I’ve had cancer myself and lost my daughter to breast cancer, so I understand it’s hard and I have a lot of empathy – especially when I see children coming to the department for treatment. "

Jean is planning to move to Lanark, Scotland, to be close to her granddaughter soon. She added: “For years my friends and family have been saying to me ‘come on Jean, isn’t it time to have a rest?’ But volunteering at the hospital has genuinely made me so happy. It’s kept my legs and brain in use. If you don’t use it, you lose it and I’m not going to sit at home staring out the window just because I’m getting older.”

If you need medical help over the long weekend, using the right service can save you time and ensure you get the best care. Here’s how to stay well and get support if you need it:

✅ Visit your local pharmacy – Many are open all weekend and can help with minor illnesses like coughs, colds, sore throats, UTIs, sinus infections, and skin conditions. Check which pharmacies are open near you via the link in the comments.
✅ Use NHS 111 – Available 24/7 online or by phone for urgent advice, and to be directed to the right service, including urgent treatment centres and out-of-hours GPs.
✅ Only use A&E for life-threatening emergencies.

We are wishing a happy Passover (Pesach) to those celebrating across Birmingham and Solihull.

Passover is one of the most important festivals in the Jewish calendar, a time of reflection, remembrance and renewal. It commemorates the story of the Israelites’ journey from slavery to freedom, led by Moses out of Egypt.

The festival begins with the Seder, a special meal shared with family and friends, where a series of rituals retell this powerful story, with each element holding symbolic meaning.

Passover is a reminder of hope, resilience and new beginnings.

🚦 Congestion Alert – Mindelsohn Way 🚦
As part of our work to make the NHS greener and more sustainable, we’re continuing to remove outdated heating systems and replace them with cleaner, more efficient alternatives.
From Monday 30 March, contractors will install temporary traffic lights on Mindelsohn Way, near the Cancer Centre in the Heritage Building, to allow for essential pipework to be replaced.
If you have an appointment or use Car Park D, please be aware there may be delays but we’re working to minimise these as much as possible. You may want to allow extra time for your journey to the hospital.
Thank you for your patience while we carry out this important work. 💙🌱
