🌟 Inspiring local young people 🌟

North Middlesex University Hospital and community services (North Mid) welcomed 14–17 year olds from Enfield and Haringey to a careers event, aimed at inspiring the next generation of NHS professionals and opening up opportunities for young people across the boroughs.

Students took part in hands-on workshops, heard inspiring talks and celebrated their achievements at a certificate ceremony with North Mid's chief executive Dr Nnenna Osuji and director of people Bernadette Thompson.

Dr Osuji said: “The day was a reminder of how closely we are connected to our local community. We hope the event has sparked inspiration and ambition in the students to consider a future career in the NHS.” 💙

This week is Ask About Asthma week — raising awareness of how the right care can transform lives.

At just two years old, Izabel Powell faced breathing struggles that led to repeated emergency visits.

Thanks to the expert care at North Middlesex University Hospital’s specialist asthma team, her family received timely diagnosis, support, and education that transformed her life.

Melloney, Izabel’s mum, said: “The regular reviews were so engaging. We felt truly listened to and learned something new each time.”

Today, Izabel is thriving — running, playing, and enjoying childhood without fear of asthma attacks.
