During any strike action, it is really important that patients who need urgent medical care continue to come forward as normal, especially in emergency and serious life-threatening cases - when someone is seriously ill or injured, or their life is at risk.

You can 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 as ever only using 999 if it is a serious or life-threatening emergency.

For more information on when to call 999 and when to go to A&E, visit the NHS website: www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/urgent-and-emergency-care-services

A huge thank you to brothers Ralph and Benjamin and their mum Jemma Haddon who have raised more than £3,000 for our James Cook chemotherapy unit in memory of dad, Daniel. 💙

Daniel was cared for on the unit before he sadly died earlier this year, aged just 49.

When Ralph and Benjamin received lots of sweeties from their friends and family, they decided to make little bags of pick ‘n’ mix to sell at their dad’s funeral – amounting to around £800. Daniel’s family also set up a JustGiving page in Daniel’s memory which raised more than £2,000.

The Haddons recently visited the team in the chemotherapy unit to make their generous donation. Here they chatted with the team about what we could do to improve the environment for other patients and settled on new TVs for side treatment rooms, and a big TV for the main room. They hope patients will enjoy being able to watch the 2026 World Cup, just as Dad would have.

Would you like to work alongside George Thomas and play a key role in helping develop our University Hospitals Tees stroke service as a stroke consultant?

As a consultant in stroke medicine and acute frailty at University Hospital Tees, George has been working in the Teesside hospital group since 2023 and has loved every minute of his time here.

Talking about why Teesside offers the best place for you to live and work, he said: "There is a good mix of urban and rural areas to live in and alongside plenty of outdoor activities to do."

As a stroke consultant, you will be offered a good blend of working between a primary stroke centre and a comprehensive stroke centre. This also includes offering thrombolysis 24/7, transient ischaemic attacks and follow-up clinics.

Moreover, the successful candidate will also be a part of helping develop the first regional simulation centre for stroke medicine, expanding our stroke research imprint, developing new services like the young stroke service and many more such exciting projects.

George added: "We are hoping that potential candidates will come with the same level of enthusiasm as we have in developing a modern UHT stroke service. We are also in the midst of developing an integrated community stroke team with the aim of bringing more rehabilitation care to our patients' doorsteps using innovative technology. This is a monumental task, as we will be delivering this across the Tees Valley and beyond.

"And on a plus side, Middlesbrough FC may make it back to the Premier League. Exciting times ahead!"
