A huge well done to our UEC Care Group, site team, and unplanned care leadership team who were recognised with a Proud2bOps Award last month.

The award highlights the incredible improvements made over the past two years to urgent and emergency care performance, from reducing waiting times and ambulance handovers, to increasing discharges before midday and ensuring patients don’t stay longer than necessary once they’re ready to leave.

A huge well done to everyone involved. Your dedication, teamwork, and commitment to delivering better patient experiences have made a real difference, and this recognition is so well deserved.

Today we celebrate the incredible contribution of carers and raise awareness of the rights and support available to them.

Our brilliant Carer Experience Team were proud to join forces with Stevenage Football Club to mark the day. The team met carers, shared advice, and highlighted the help that’s out there, from assessments to ongoing support.

It was inspiring to connect with so many carers and to champion the vital role they play in our community. 💙

A huge thank you to Stevenage Football Club for welcoming us and helping spread this important message. Together we’re making sure carers know their rights and feel supported every step of the way.
