Thank you for your support of our colleagues during the industrial action which finished this morning.

Our services and our colleagues will need some time to recover from the strikes. Please continue to use NHS 111 first for medical help, advice and referrals.

“I’m motivated by the stories people carry inside them—every conversation feels like opening a new chapter. I try to pass on cultural values through daily practice, small acts of kindness, and shared traditions.”

As we continue our celebration of South Asian Heritage Month and this year’s theme, Roots to Routes, our next staff spotlight is Aliya, an Administrative Assistant in the Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Department.

Aliya’s family journeyed to the UK in the 1950s, driven by a desire for education, opportunity, and stability. Her grandfather served in the army in Pakistan, and her grandmother’s passion for learning created a legacy that still inspires her today.

As part of the celebrations, we’re also hosting staff Lunch and Learn sessions, and we’re delighted that Aliya will be speaking at one of them.

We celebrated Hello, My Name Is... Day last week, with a special celebration event at Thackray Medical Museum. We heard about the continuing legacy of the campaign from Chris Pointon, co-founder and widower of the late Kate Granger, a doctor and patient here in Leeds who launched the campaign 11 years ago.

Chris’ inspirational words were followed by presentations from two teams – the Cystic Fibrosis Unit, and Leeds Dental Institute – joint winners of our Patient Experience Awards, who talked about their fantastic projects to deliver personalised and compassionate care to our patients.

This campaign encourages and reminds colleagues about the importance of introducing ourselves to our patients. A survey of our patients in April said that, out of 2,741 responses, 93% of patients said staff involved in their care had introduced themselves.

“She encouraged me to be financially independent and to make my own decisions. Every woman has her own journey, and for me, it's all the women in my life, especially my mum, who inspire me.”

As part of South Asian Heritage Month celebrations, we’re hosting a series of staff Lunch and Learn sessions, and we’re delighted that Gurpreet will be speaking at one of them.

This month, we’re shining a spotlight on some of our South Asian colleagues and exploring the journeys that have shaped who they are today, linking to this year’s theme of Roots to Routes.

In a recent conversation, Gurpreet shared her story and one part really stood out. She spoke of her greatest inspiration, her mother, who was the first girl in her village who was able to study then work, back in 1970. Defying expectations and overcoming cultural taboos, her mother carved her own path in a male-dominated world, while ensuring Gurpreet and her brother received a quality education.

Last week we were especially pleased to welcome our latest cohort of healthcare workers from St Vincent and the Grenadines to Leeds.

These new colleagues are joining our observation programme in our hospitals this summer. This partnership programme aims to bring about a mutual exchange of knowledge sharing and skills with our global colleagues.

This is the third cohort of the programme we've run and the observers will be with us for eight weeks in total. An event held at the Thackray Museum next to St James's Hospital was a wonderful opportunity to introduce the new cohort to Leeds - thank you to all our colleagues who made our guests feel welcomed.
