We’re delighted to share a new addition to Appley Ward 🌿

A dedicated 'Garden Room' has been created to provide a calm, supportive space for acute patients living with dementia. Thoughtfully themed as a garden and brought together using many donated items, the room offers a peaceful place for patients to step away from the busy ward environment and relax.

A big thank you to everyone who helped make this soothing space possible 💚

If you have flu, there are some things you can do to help get better more quickly.

Flu will often get better on its own, but it can make some people seriously ill. It's important to get the flu vaccine if you're eligible.

The vaccination Centre at St Mary's Hospital is open on Mondays and Wednesdays from 7.45am to 1.30pm.

Norovirus is a stomach bug that causes diarrhoea and vomiting, and cases are currently rising.

It can be very unpleasant, but usually goes away in a couple of days.

You can usually treat yourself at home, but the most important thing is to rest and have lots of fluids.

We’re thrilled to announce that building work is underway to expand the Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) at St Mary’s Hospital, thanks to a £6.2m investment 👷🎉
This expansion will include a dedicated breast care facility, providing islanders with a more coordinated and patient-centred experience for breast cancer diagnostics and care.

Opening in November 2026, the new centre will bring both screening and symptomatic services together in one location for easier, more efficient care. This is part of our commitment to improving access to diagnostic services for our community. 💙
