Congratulations to Caroline Mullins, Ward Clerk, who won the Charity Inspiration Award (sponsored by Royal Surrey Charity) at our recent Royal Surrey Stars staff awards

Based at Milford Hospital, Caroline is truly dedicated to supporting people living with dementia. Working with our charity, she organised a 15-mile fundraising walk, which included planning the route, setting up the online giving page, and rallying the troops to get involved.

Through her enthusiasm for the cause, Caroline assembled 28 staff members who laced up their trainers and walked side-by-side.

Thanks to Caroline’s drive and determination, the walk raised just over £2,400 to support dementia care.

Well done, Caroline!

Patient Shriyesh Patel was diagnosed with stage 4 inoperable cancer in 2021. He's been taking part in a clinical trial with our Oncology research team since then.

As one of the UK's major cancer centres, we see more than 8,000 patients every year, with hundreds taking part in research trials like Shriyesh.

Stories like his show the brilliant work of our research team. Today on World Cancer Day we're saying thank you to all our staff involved in delivering nationally recognised cancer care.

One year ago today, on World Cancer Day, Paralympic gold medallist Erin Kennedy officially opened our new Cancer Centre.

We’re the fourth largest cancer centre in the UK and the £6m project doubled our clinical space.

A snapshot of our cancer care over the last 12 months:

✅ Held over 60,000 outpatient appointments
✅ Became a centre of excellence for brain tumour treatment
✅ Received an outstanding rating for our care in the National Cancer Patient Experience Survey
✅ Delivered more than 44,000 radiotherapy treatment visits
✅ Supported almost 50 research trials to advance cancer care

Thank you to our incredible staff who provide expert, compassionate care and always put patients at the heart of everything they do 💙

We’re pleased to share that Joss Bigmore has been appointed Group Chair across Ashford and St Peter’s Hospitals NHS FT and Royal Surrey NHS FT.

Joss, who has been Chair at our trust for three years, has now been appointed Chair of Ashford and St Peter’s Hospitals and continues in his role as Chair of Royal Surrey.

This strengthens leadership continuity and builds on the strong partnership between our two trusts - supporting closer collaboration while each organisation retains its own Board and statutory responsibilities.

Our focus remains on supporting staff and delivering the best possible care for our communities.

Congratulations to our Staff Health and Wellbeing Team, who were Non-Clinical Team of the Year at our recent Royal Surrey Stars staff awards ✨

Robyn and Hollie are calm, extremely capable and always put our colleagues' wellbeing first.

They provide vital support during difficult times, signpost people to appropriate resources, deliver essential training, and keep everyone updated on policies. Most importantly, they can always be relied upon when it matters most.

Their dedication and expertise are integral to supporting our hospital community.

Well done, Robyn and Hollie! 👏

“Every single member of this team is great at what they do. We are so lucky to have them, they are treasure,” – Tweety Lau, Supervisor.

Please show some appreciation to our Outpatients Reception Team 👏

Made up of 17 members, three of whom have worked for our trust for more than 20 years, they're the welcoming faces across a wide range of clinics – from fractures and orthopaedics to ECGs and eyes.

They book appointments, prepare patient notes, and provide a reassuring presence for patients who are stressed and anxious – making sure every day runs smoothly.

Tweety said: “They have very warm hearts and are incredibly patient. They all support each other really well and are flexible and accommodating when needed. I’m extremely proud of them.”

Thank you to our Outpatients Reception Team 💙

Congratulations James Woodland, Consultant Healthcare Scientist, who is one of two joint winners of our Innovation Impact Award at our recent staff awards, Royal Surrey Stars ⭐

James is transforming our histopathology services. He is the only Consultant Healthcare Scientist in our region to complete the Royal College-accredited gastrointestinal histopathology reporting training – held by fewer than 35 professionals nationwide.

His pioneering work is speeding up diagnostic turnaround times, enabling faster treatment, and improving patient outcomes - while setting a benchmark for workforce innovation.

James shares the award with our AI Project Team, who we featured earlier this week.

Well done, James!

Congratulations to our AI Project Team who are one of two joint winners of our Innovation Impact Award at our recent staff awards, Royal Surrey Stars ⭐

The team is leading the way in digital innovation within healthcare. This trailblazing team implemented Annalise.ai, a cutting-edge platform that analyses chest X-rays for over 120 potential abnormalities. Ahead of the curve, we were one of the first trusts in the UK to embed this technology into routine clinical practice, and the only one to roll it out across both emergency and primary care pathways.

They share the award with James Woodland, Consultant Healthcare Scientist, who we will feature tomorrow.

The incredible success of this AI project has led to the team being shortlisted for a prestigious national HSJ Digital Award earlier this week.

Well done to our AI Project Team!

Could you make a difference in our patients' care?

Applications are open for Healthcare Assistants to join our outstanding trust.

Healthcare Assistants such as Millie have thrived at Royal Surrey after her time at school. She said: “I knew I always wanted to go into care but just didn’t know which area. This is the perfect role to see all sorts of different specialisms as we work with multidisciplinary teams every day. It gives a great grounding in care and the chance to see what other opportunities there may be for the future.”

Whether you have healthcare experience, or are just starting out, we want to hear from you!

Congratulations to Binita Lawati, Junior Sister, who was named Leader/Mentor of the Year at our recent Royal Surrey Stars staff awards ✨

As a nurse in charge, she leads by example and never hesitates to step in when needed. Whatever the task, she ensures everyone is taken care of.

Binita has been described as “truly special” and she has consistently supported her team with warmth and dedication. Reliable, encouraging, and always present, she’s not only a great nurse, but also a genuinely big-hearted person who embodies what being a great mentor and a leader looks like.

Well done, Binita!
