What an honour it was to welcome His Royal Highness Prince William to The Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease.

Together with Leeds Hospitals Charity we are so very grateful to everyone who has supported the creation of the Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease and to the Prince of Wales for officially opening the new centre. This centre has been made possible thanks to everybody who has fundraised for and donated to Leeds Hospitals Charity.

It was a truly lovely morning with Rob’s family and friends, in addition to clinicians, research consultants, project teams and donors, giving recognition to this supportive MND community, and this was an unforgettable day for everyone involved.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance, an annual event that honours the memory of transgender people whose lives have been lost as a result of transphobia.

This evening we have illuminated Jubilee Wing at Leeds General Infirmary to pay tribute and show solidarity with our transgender community, colleagues, patients and families.

Happy National Healthcare Support Worker Week!

This week, we’re shining a spotlight on our brilliant healthcare support workers, who every day provide compassionate care and essential support to patients and healthcare teams. Whether it’s delivering hands-on patient care, helping keep our services running smoothly, or offering a kind word when it’s needed most — thank you to all our staff in these roles who play such a vital part in the care we provide across our hospitals.

Here are two lovely reflections from our clinical support workers:

Minisha: “I love what I am doing. Helping my patients makes me feel fulfilled and happy.”

Jayne: “I am proud of my work and where I work. Sharing the weight of this role is a true blessing, and I accept this celebration in honour of my whole team, who are always so supportive.”

Please do share your own positive comments about our staff and join us in celebrating their hard work and the impact they have on the lives of others.

For International Men's Day, colleagues in our Men's Action and Awareness Network were treated to a fantastic talk from Jamie-Jones Buchanan - Leeds Rhinos legend and newly-appointed CEO.

Colleagues got to hear about JJB's inspiring life philosophy and some cracking anecdotes from his lengthy career. Here he's recorded a short snippet about the importance of care... an important message for all of us!

If you're a man approaching 65 you may receive an invitation for an important test.

The abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening programme offers all men approaching 65 a scan to check for this hidden vascular health condition. It's a quick test but it's one that could save your life.

Rugby league legend Ellery Hanley MBE had his scan earlier this year for peace of mind. He recently spoke to patient Alan Alderson, who told him how the routine scan picked up on an aneurysm he had no idea about. He's since had life-changing surgery.

We’re excited to be launching a new programme which will help us improve quality of care and patient safety across Leeds Teaching Hospitals.

The RISE (Recognition of Innovation, Safe Care and Excellence) clinical accreditation programme is now underway in six wards at St James’s University Hospital and Leeds General Infirmary and will be rolled out across the Trust from 2026.

We’ll be measuring quality of care across six key pillars: Patient Experience, Leadership, Staff Experience, Harm-Free Care, Research and Innovation, and Digital. There will be four award levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.

This is a really positive step forward and will ensure we continue to improve and provide outstanding care to our patients.

It’s definitely felt a bit chillier here in Leeds over the last day or so!

The Met Office has now issued a yellow warning for ice tonight and into tomorrow. This change in temperature can have serious effects for some people, particularly those with medical conditions and young children or older adults.

With a forecast of ice, please be extra careful when out and about to avoid any slips and trips which may bring you into our Emergency Departments.

While resident doctors are taking industrial action we are asking patients to choose services appropriately and take simple steps to help ensure care is available to patients who need it most. This includes using 111 online as the first port of call for health needs, and only using 999 if it is a serious or life-threatening emergency. Thank you.

Patients who haven’t been contacted or informed that their planned appointment has been postponed should attend as normal.

🌟 Happy National Healthcare Support Worker Week! 🌟

This week, we’re shining a spotlight on our brilliant Healthcare Support Workers who provide compassionate care and support to patients and teams across our hospitals. Whether it’s helping with patient care, coordinating logistics, or offering a kind word when it’s needed most — thank you for everything you do.

Here’s a wonderful reflection from Precious, one of our trainee Clinical Support Workers, about what the role means to her:

“What I love about my role is the opportunity to make a difference in people's lives every day. It could be small things like a kind word or a calm conversation or simply being there when someone needs support. I feel a strong sense of purpose knowing the care I give can ease someone’s anxiety, restore their dignity, or brighten their day.”

And from Kelly, who is also a Learning Disability Champion alongside her role as a Clinical Support Worker:

“Due to my personal experience, I am able to support our patients in a much deeper and more meaningful way.”

💙 Join us in celebrating their hard work and the impact they have on the lives of others.
