Today our amazing team at Croydon University Hospital for World Kidney Day, speaking to staff and visitors about maintaining kidney health and when to get tested for kidney disease.

They're on site with advice, leaflets and demonstrating the testing equipment they use, helping everyone understand the simple steps we should take to protect our kidneys. 🙌

A huge thank you to our colleagues who are championing kidney health across CUH!

We’ve officially opened two new theatres in the Croydon Elective Centre!✨

These early openings mean an even better planned theatre experience for our paediatric patients and their families - and the spaces will also support adult procedures too.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in bringing this to life, especially our Paediatric Anaesthetic Lead, Dr Chris Honsvet, for his tireless work to enhance the experience of our littlest patients at Croydon University Hospital. 💙

We’re proud to offer personalised, supportive and empowering birth experiences at our maternity — including options like maternal‑assisted cesareans for those who choose them.
Below, one of our patients kindly shared her story in her own words:

✨ Patient feedback✨

"I gave birth to my daughter at CUH via a maternal‑assisted elective caesarean, and it was the best decision I’ve ever made.

Switching from my planned natural birth felt daunting, but the calm certainty of knowing the date — combined with being able to lift my baby to my chest myself — made the experience incredibly empowering.

The whole team was incredible. Midwives Kat, Beattie, Venitta and Menal, consultant Dr Modestini, surgeon Dr O’Connor and anaesthetist Dr Honstvet all made me feel supported, informed and truly cared for.

I will never forget the moment I lifted my daughter towards me — she started feeding straight away, and we had the most precious time together after the birth.

I’d recommend a maternal‑assisted caesarean to anyone exploring their options. My top tip? Sleep the night before!

Thank you to everyone at CUH for giving us such a positive, memorable birth experience."
— Zoë & Jon 💛

🌟 we are committed to offering choice, compassion and exceptional care to every family.

If you’re exploring your birth options or want to learn more about our maternity services, we’re here to help every step of the way.

Today our incredible HIV team hosted a stall at Croydon University Hospital as part of National HIV Testing Week ❤️

Staff were invited to come along, have a conversation, learn more about HIV, and take a quick and confidential test. Regular testing helps protect our health, reduces stigma and supports early diagnosis and treatment.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, asked questions and took part — and a huge shoutout to the HIV team for creating such an open, supportive space.

Testing is quick, free and could make all the difference. Know your status.

Happy National Apprenticeship Week! ⭐️

This week we’re celebrating our incredible apprentices who bring leadership, ambition and new ideas to teams across Croydon.

Apprenticeships support people at every stage of their NHS journey, helping colleagues grow their skills and confidence.

To mark the week, we have been hosting events across the Trust and spotlighting on three of our colleagues who have shared their apprenticeship stories: Janet, Cajetan and Suregah. Their experiences show the power of learning and the impact apprenticeships have across our services.

Thank you to all our apprentices you play a vital role in shaping the future of healthcare in Croydon. 👏

Today on World Cancer Day 🎗️ we pause to honour the strength, courage and resilience of everyone affected by cancer.

It is a moment to reflect on the incredible dedication shown every day across our organisation to ensure people receive compassionate, personalised and expert care when they need it most.

A heartfelt thank you to our Macmillan team and all of our cancer teams for everything you do. Your knowledge, kindness and unwavering commitment make a profound difference to our patients and their families. Whether supporting someone at diagnosis, guiding them through treatment or helping them navigate life beyond cancer, you bring hope and humanity to every interaction 💚

Your work embodies the highest standards of care and we are deeply grateful for the way you show up for our community, every single day.

On World Cancer Day we celebrate you, we appreciate you and we remain united in our mission to improve cancer outcomes for all.

As we mark World Cancer Day 🎗️ a moment to recognise the experiences of people living with cancer and to recommit to tackling inequalities in cancer care. We wanted to highlight an important milestone for our team this week.

Our colleague, Baljit Vohra–Gill, Macmillan Lead Cancer Nurse, had the honour of attending No. 10 Downing Street on our behalf ahead of World Cancer Day and the publication of the 10‑year cancer plan.

🔁 Baljit's post below:

I had the honour of representing Macmillan Cancer Support Croydon Health Services NHS Trust British Sikh Nurses ☬ No. 10 Downing Street ahead of World Cancer Day and the publication of the 10 year cancer plan.

In the current political climate, nursing has never been more challenging. Workforce cuts, frozen posts, and rising demand and corridor care continue to stretch teams across the country. Yet our commitment remains the same: to rise to every challenge so people living with cancer receive the best possible care and support.

I’m proud to stand alongside colleagues who advocate for those most disadvantaged in our society and who work tirelessly to ensure true health equality. Proud to be part of this journey, and proud to keep pushing for the voices of cancer patients and cancer nurses to be heard.

Thank you Gemma Peters for encouragement and enthusiasm.

On World Cancer Day, we continue championing equitable care, amplifying patient voices, and supporting the incredible professionals, like Baljit who represent and advocate for our communities every day.

🌟 New Community Diagnostic Centre opens in Croydon! 🌟

Thousands of local residents will now benefit from faster access to vital tests and scans as Croydon’s newest Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) officially opens in New Addington.

Thanks to a £14m investment, the centre delivers a wide range of diagnostic services closer to home, including:

🩻 X-ray
🩺 Ultrasound
🧪 CT scans
❤️ Cardiology
🌬️ Respiratory testing

The site also includes a GP practice run by Bourne Health, offering more joined‑up care and easier access to primary care appointments.

We were pleased to welcome a number of guests who joined us to mark this important milestone, including:

• Yemisi Gibbons, Chair of Croydon Health Services NHS Trust
• Matthew Kershaw, Chief Executive and Place Based Leader for Health
• Omar Din, Chief Executive Officer, Bourne Health
• Wes Streeting, Health and Social Care Secretary
• Natasha Irons, MP for Croydon East
• The Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Croydon

A huge thank you to everyone who attended and helped celebrate the opening. The new CDC represents a significant step forward in improving early diagnosis, reducing waiting times and providing more accessible, community‑based healthcare for residents.

This launch forms part of wider investment in local health services, including Croydon’s role as one of 43 national pilot sites for neighbourhood health and the development of a new health centre in the south of the borough to increase access to GP appointments.

🎄💌 Thank you to The Sun on Sunday – Christmas Cards for Kids campaign 💌🎄

While Christmas may be over, the joy it brings is still being felt across our hospital. We’d like to thank The Sun on Sunday for coming to Croydon University Hospital and helping us create such special moments for our young patients and their families.

Eight-year-old Amara Afflick-Gill rang the end-of-treatment bell with Santa by her side, surrounded by family and friends, including her mum Lynette. “I am so excited,” Amara said.

At the same hospital, Enzo Morley, nine, now in remission after twice beating leukaemia, shared a much-needed hug with Father Christmas — a moment that meant so much to everyone there.

We’re also grateful that funds from the campaign will support The Azaylia Foundation, the cancer charity set up by Safiyya Vorajee and Ashley Cain in memory of their daughter Azaylia.

Thank you for bringing smiles, comfort and lasting joy to our patients — reminding us that the spirit of Christmas doesn’t end when the decorations come down. 💛✨

25/12/2025

This Christmas, we would like to thank our incredible staff for their dedication, compassion and professionalism, especially those working over the festive period and bank holidays to care for our patients and communities ✨🎄
