Symptoms include pelvic pain, pain between periods, intense back pain, pain when having s*x, infertility and other symptoms that may severely impact a woman’s quality of life.

Ever wonder who’s behind those clear, life-saving images that help guide patient care every single day?

Recently we celebrated our incredible Imaging Department during the World Radiography Day - a team of skilled, compassionate professionals who bring expertise, calm, and care to every scan. They play a vital role in every patient’s journey, and we’re so grateful for their dedication.

Here are some of our team, together with their brilliant Lead, Sarah, and the Head of MRI and CT, Hannah, standing proudly in front of a display filled with interesting facts about X-ray - along with their own reflections on what they love about being part of this team.

They all agreed that working together, supporting each other, and making a real difference for patients is what makes this department so special.

One of the comments sums it up beautifully:
“I give every patient the high level of care I would want to receive if I was in their position.” 🩻❤️

Here’s to the radiographers who make the invisible visible and the complicated clearer. Thank you for all you do! 🌟

🧼🔍 This IPC Week at Harbour Hospital, our IPC Lead, Donna, went above and beyond to raise awareness and reinforce best practices across the hospital.

Throughout the week, Donna organised a series of engaging activities for both clinical and non-clinical staff, designed to highlight the importance of infection prevention in everyday practice. From the Hidden Pathogens Hunt to the “Dressed to Protect” uniform challenge, staff were encouraged to think critically and creatively about how infections spread - and how we can stop them.

Today’s grand finale: IPC Detective!
Donna transformed a patient bedroom into a hands-on challenge, inviting staff to identify 10 IPC non-compliant items.

👏 Infection prevention is everyone’s responsibility, and here at Harbour Hospital, we’re proud of the enthusiasm and commitment shown by our teams this week.

Thank you, Donna, for your incredible effort in making IPC Week both educational and enjoyable!
