Please come to your appointment as planned – unless we’ve contacted you to rearrange.

Was your baby born in January or February 2026? You could be invited to take part in a major survey that assesses the quality of maternity services in England.

We want to hear from as many women as possible about the maternity care they’ve received. The more people who take part in the survey, the richer and more valuable the information we gather will be.

Taking part is voluntary and all answers are confidential and anonymous.

A musical exploring the growing global threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has just opened in London, featuring a chorus of 60 NHS staff.

The theatre-production is called Lifeline and tells the story of Sir Alexander Fleming's discovery of penicillin at St Mary's Hospital in 1928, including his warnings about the risk of AMR.

AMR is one of the most pressing health risks we face today. We are working with Imperial College London to find solutions through the Fleming Initiative, which brings together researchers, policymakers, clinicians, behavioural experts, commercial partners and the public.

Have your say on the future of St Mary’s Hospital 📣

We’re inviting patients, carers and members of the community to take part in interactive workshops to help shape the design of a new St Mary’s Hospital.

These in-person sessions on 1 May will explore:
🔹what makes a hospital feel welcoming and inclusive
🔹how design can improve patient experience
🔹how easy it is to access and move around the hospital

You can attend one or both sessions and participants will be reimbursed for their time.

Spaces are limited and we’re keen to hear from a wide range of voices.

50 years together – and giving back 💙

Maria and Nick have been volunteering at the Friends of Hammersmith Hospital shop for the past two years. They are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary this year, having married within three months of meeting back in 1976.

They shared their motivations for volunteering: "We both absolutely love it," said Nick. “It’s a great team – really lovely people. And it’s nice knowing you’re part of something that raises money for the hospital.”

For Maria, volunteering brings just as much personal benefit: “It keeps you active and connected, and it’s good for your mental health.”
