We can't believe it's been two years since Woodland House, our standalone bereavement centre, became a reality for our families experiencing pregnancy and baby loss.

Thanks to your support for our Woodland House Appeal, our bereaved families now have a precious safe haven where they can grieve and spend time together in supportive surroundings, away from the hustle and bustle of busy hospital wards.

Last year, we were honoured when Woodland House, which is the first bereavement centre of its kind in a hospital setting, was recognised as an 'Exceptional Healthcare Facility' by the National Federation of Builders Awards.

We know we can’t ever ease the heartbreak of losing a precious baby, but we take so much pride in Woodland House, which offers a place that's there for families when they need it most.

We are incredibly proud of our growing online community 💕

Families who have been cared for at our Trust have had their stories seen by more than one million people on social media in the last few months 🥳

Each week, we share the personal stories of brave families who want to raise awareness and help others feel less alone - creating a space for families to connect with those on similar paths.

“A colposcopy is a really important step to detect early signs of cervical cancer.“

Cervical screening is a vital step in preventing life-changing conditions and can detect early signs of cervical cancer.

A cervical screening, also known as a smear test, can find abnormal cells caused by HPV. If these cells are found in a smear test, you may be referred for a colposcopy.

Currently, approximately one in three don't book or attend their cervical smear test.

Amy Armstrong, Clinical Nurse Lead for Colposcopy, said: "It's so important that when invited, you attend a cervical screening test...The sooner you find the presence of these abnormal cells, the better."

Meet warrior Kolton 💪

Kolton was transferred to our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit due to severe pneumothorax, a potentially life-threatening condition where air is trapped between the lung and the chest wall, which can lead to lung collapse.

Thanks to the expert care of our neonatal teams, Kolton is now four months old and thriving at home with his family.

Mum Sophie said: "I watched my son go from looking severely poorly and not knowing what the outcome would be, to a completely different baby in just under 2 weeks.

"The amazing nurses, doctors, consultants and infant feeding team ensured that both myself and Kolton were looked after, offered the appropriate advice and care whilst remaining compassionate and friendly during the scariest moment of my life.

"The whole team gave Kolton the fighting chance he deserved and now he’s a thriving 5-month-old, none of which may have been possible without the NICU team's help and intervention. We cannot thank you all enough." 💜
