Black women in the UK experience significant inequalities in cancer care and outcomes. Too often, their voices are missing from patient feedback, which means services don’t always reflect what matters most to them. We’re inviting Black women who have received cancer care in Bristol or Weston-super-Mare within the last three years to take part in small listening events this February.

These are small, supportive sessions. You don’t have to share anything you don’t want to, you’re very welcome to just listen. A Black woman with lived experience will be present, alongside a facilitator, and a cancer psychologist will be available for support if needed.

No names or identifying details will be recorded, and taking part will have no connection to your care. You can find out more and sign up here: https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=tVkocm0TkU-bLK_RD7ZUnQK1Vmw7I9FNkMY2yO5kWGRUNk41Ujg2Mk5GUzBKUUtCRlhMVTM0SEFVRC4u&route=shorturl

Sight Loss Councils (SLC) and North Bristol NHS Trust have been working together to review the experiences of blind and partially sighted people using hospital services.

The audit highlights encouraging progress, including improvements in accessible digital communication and valued support provided by the Trust’s Move Maker volunteers. It also sets out clear opportunities for further development to ensure consistent, confident support for patients with visual impairment across all areas of care.

Heather, SLC volunteer and member, said:

“Being part of this work has shown me how much of a difference it makes when people with lived experience are listened to. Seeing improvements happen as a result of the audit has been really encouraging, and there’s a strong commitment from everyone involved to keep building on this.”

If you are experiencing any symptoms of flu or norovirus, please don't attend our hospital unless it's an emergency.

Visiting a patient on our wards, attending for an appointment, day case procedure, test or surgery if you’re unwell could spread winter illnesses to others who may be more vulnerable than you.

If you are unable to attend a scheduled attendance, please call the booking team on the top of your appointment letter to let them know.

Please wait until you are fully recovered to visit a loved one on our wards.

Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe.

Our hospitals are currently extremely busy.
If you attend our adult Emergency Departments with a health condition that isn't urgent, you may experience a long wait.

If your loved one is already in hospital, you can help get them home sooner by speaking to ward staff as early as possible about the discharge process.

If you think you need medical help but aren’t sure what to do, please use NHS 111▶️ https://111.nhs.uk/
