The UK's plasma programme is making a real difference in the lives of patients who rely on immunoglobulin treatment, like Samantha. Here in Leeds, it's fantastic to know we have a consistent supply of products we can provide to our patients.

If you are able to come forward and sign up as blood and plasma donors, please do - these treatments wouldn't be possible without the generosity of those who donate.

“Transfusions have been life-changing for me and I rely on them to keep me well."

Samantha has been receiving intravenous immunoglobulin infusions for 14 years at St James's University Hospital in Leeds. This treatment helps strengthen her immune system and protects her from serious infections.

Since June 2025 she has been using medicines made from UK plasma - after a new UK plasma collection programme was launched by NHS Blood and Transplant.

A huge thank you to all those who sign up as blood and plasma donors - your support means the world to the patients we treat and support every day.

🍽️ 😊 Mealtimes are an opportunity for social connection and most of us find eating a meal with someone more enjoyable rather than eating alone. This can be tricky in hospital, so we’re recruiting Meal Mates volunteers to help make mealtimes more of a social event for our patients.

Research shows that people eat and drink more when they are more relaxed, and better hydrated and nourished patients mean speedier recoveries.

Do you have time to support a mealtime with someone in hospital?

If it sounds like a role you'd enjoy please find out more on our website:

Huge congratulations to Helen Tooby who has won the Well Child Nurse Award at the prestigious national 2025 Well Child Awards!

Helen is our Well Child Tracheostomy Nurse Specialist and was nominated by Leeds Children's Hospital colleague, Emma Gilpin.

She was chosen from hundreds of nominations from across the UK to win the Nurse Award. This category was sponsored by the Royal College of Nursing, recognising her extraordinary ability to combine clinical excellence with genuine empathy.

Helen supports children with complex medical needs with tracheostomies and provides expert clinical care alongside unwavering compassion and dedication. She works tirelessly to ensure every child is safe, every family supported and every detail taken care of.

Emma said in her nomination:

"Helen is not just a nurse; she is a lifeline for so many. Her work has been nothing short of life-changing, and she embodies the very essence of what it means to be a Nurse. Helen stands out as a beacon of hope and excellence in her field, and I cannot think of anyone more deserving of this recognition."

Helen received her award at a star-studded ceremony in London, where she met Well Child Patron Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex, at a private reception ahead of the event.

Congratulations to Helen from all your friends and colleagues at Leeds Teaching Hospitals!

Huge congratulations to Louise Arnold, an Advanced Clinical Practitioner here at Leeds Teaching Hospitals, and her patient Zoe Smith, who ran the Great North Run at the weekend.

Louise says: "It was amazing and the support incredible. I still can’t believe I have done it!"

Louise has been supporting people with aplastic anaemia for 25 years and Zoe was diagnosed with the condition, a rare form of bone marrow failure, in 2020.

They were running to raise awareness of the condition with The Aplastic Anaemia Trust.

There's still time to vote for Rob Burrow's third and final Motor Neurone Disease (MND) documentary to win in the National TV Awards.

His wife Lindsey says: "I am incredibly proud that Rob’s final documentary has made the shortlist for the National TV awards. I know Rob was so proud of the impact the documentaries had on the public’s awareness of MND and being nominated for an incredible award like this is another chance to bang the drum for the MND community.

"Rob was with us at the last two awards so it will be a poignant moment to be there again but it would be wonderful to be able to remind everyone of his incredible legacy in front of millions of people if we could win.”

Votes must be in by midday on 10 September 2025 and you can vote free online at www.nationaltvawards.com

The results will be revealed at the NTA ceremony live on ITV on 10 September from 8pm.
