Please choose services appropriately during industrial action and 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.

A week ago today Channel 4 aired Stand Up To Cancer UK, including the special Cancer Clinic Live at Addenbrookes Hospital.

During the programme we saw a number of patient stories, from those choosing to share their cancer screening journeys in the hope of encouraging others to take up the offer if they get invited to come forward for an appointment.

We saw how Peter's story turned out live on air as he was told he was now cancer free following surgery at the Royal Papworth Hospital, to remove a cancerous nodule on his lung. The nodule was discovered following his screening appointment. The Lung Cancer Screening Programme is a national initiative, hosted by our hospital Trust for the region.

Finding cancer early can make all the difference. However, almost 9 million people are not up-to-date with screening. Peter made the most of accessible weekend screening programme. You can check if you’re eligible for screening on the SUTC screening checker: https://www.standuptocancer.org.uk/screening-checker

And, if you receive a letter from the NHS inviting you for screening please attend. Early screening can make all the difference 🧡

During the strikes, there may be fewer doctors working than usual, and they will need to prioritise life saving care. Less urgent cases may experience longer waits during strikes.

We are asking patients to choose services appropriately during industrial action and 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.

Patient Services is a department at Hinchingbrooke that includes the front of house porters, switchboard and main receptionists.
Porters move patients around the hospital, taking them to wards, scans, x-rays and generally helping them get where they need to be. Porters are also responsible for the collection/delivery of bloods and are present at emergency alarm activations.
Different porters are dedicated to different roles, some of them being 24/7; A&E is looked after between 10pm - 6am whilst another porter is responsible for taking inpatients to CT's, MRI's and X-rays.
Being on their feet all day racks up a healthy 20,000 steps, equivalent to 8 miles! The team receive many compliments about how smart they look in their uniforms.
Switchboard/Reception plays a vital role within the hospital; the switchboard needs to be covered 24/7. They are responsible for receiving emergency internal calls and making sure the relevant teams attend, ASAP. During fire alarm and other emergency activations the team need to ensure the appropriate people are contacted.
The reception team meet and greet visitors and help them with any queries. Around 700-800 calls are taken and dealt with each day! This is alongside many other busy tasks.
The whole Patient Services Team pride themselves on helping patients and visitors and receive many compliments from the people they help. Thank you for all you do Team Patient Services!

We're pleased to share that one of our doctors has worked in partnership with Health Tech Enterprise, a health technology advisory service and innovation management enterprise working for the benefit of the NHS and its patients, our Research and Development Team and the National Institute for Health and Care Research to secure funding from NIHR i4i Product Development Award scheme.

Dr Frazer said: “I approached the research and development department and asked them for help and the Trust have been extremely responsive to this and very helpful and working with Health Tech Enterprise has been extremely valuable, for the whole project. I’ve been able to access expert advice from all aspects of the product development pathway."

The i4i Product Development Awards (PDA) supports collaborative research and development of medical devices, in vitro diagnostic devices and high-impact patient-focused digital health technologies for use in the NHS or social care systems.

Dr Karen Law, Health Tech Enterprise’s Head of Innovation, added: "Bridging the gap between concept and commercialisation is our key aim at Health Tech Enterprise, and securing the NIHR funding to take this product into the next stage of development has been a rewarding experience for all of the team at HTE.”

Mortuary and Bereavement Services operate across Peterborough City Hospital and Hinchingbrooke Hospital, delivering a highly skilled, 24-hour service that plays a critical role in patient care and family support at the end of life.

The Mortuary at Peterborough is fully licensed under the Human Tissue Act 2004 to undertake post-mortem and other specialist examinations. The Hinchingbrooke Mortuary does not carry out examinations and therefore does not require the same licence.

Each year, the service cares for approximately 3,800 patients from both hospital and community settings, undertaking around 1,300 post-mortem examinations.

Working alongside the mortuary service, the Bereavement Team provides consistent, compassionate and professional support to families and loved ones, guiding them through practical arrangements with sensitivity and clarity. Viewing facilities are available at both hospital sites, offering relatives a private, dignified environment in which to spend time with their loved one and say goodbye.
Thank you team Mortuary and Bereavement 😍
