🦷🪥Big smiles at Good Hope Hospital🦷🪥

Orthodontic patients are sitting more comfortably thanks to four new state-of-the-art dental treatment chairs.

This represents a £150,000 investment for the department, who see around 3,500 to 4,000 patients per year.

Led by Orthodontic Consultant, Dr Jaspal Panesar, the dedicated team works closely with Maxillofacial Surgeons and a Restorative Consultant to tackle everything from complex jaw disorders, impacted teeth, missing teeth, and cleft lip and palate cases.

Dr Panesar said: "We handle highly challenging orthodontic cases requiring multi-disciplinary care that can’t be treated in primary care, from young children aged seven to adults. These chairs are our operating table and ensure our patients receive the very best care in comfort and style. Orthodontics has been part of Good Hope Hospital since the 1960s, and we’re proud to continue this legacy and see how much we’ve grown in both patient numbers and case complexity. ”

An occupational therapist (OT) at Good Hope Hospital has used his passion for coding to improve patient care. 👏

Luke Holland, Therapy Clinical Site Coordinator, has built an app from scratch which therapy colleagues can use to order patient equipment from the right place.

Good Hope Hospital lies near the boundaries of multiple council areas, such as Birmingham, Staffordshire, Walsall, Solihull and Warwickshire. This means that therapists need to know where a patient lives, and where their GP practice is based, to order equipment from the correct supplier. The equipment could be walking frames, hoists and walking sticks, and each supplier offers something slightly different.

Luke’s web-based app, called the Equipment Locality App (ELA), allows colleagues to input the patient’s postcode and select their GP practice to find out which council areas are involved and therefore which supplier to use. This saves a huge amount of time for therapists, allowing them to focus on clinical care and discharging patients home. 💻

Luke said: “I get an incredible feeling when I see something which isn’t working, put a solution in place, and get it fixed, especially if it can benefit colleagues and patients. Programming is fun; it’s like playing a musical instrument in that once you’ve learnt the ‘language’, you can be really creative and overcome so many different problems.”

The research team at Good Hope Hospital has marked a major milestone, achieving a remarkable 1000% increase in patient recruitment over the past six years. 🥼

In 2019, there were just 50 patients recruited to research studies at the hospital. In 2024-2025, this has increased to an impressive 573, a testament to the hospital’s growing research capabilities.

This leap began in 2019 with the appointment of the first research nurse and a shift toward building a diverse, non-cancer research portfolio. Now supported by a dedicated team and stronger infrastructure, the hospital is offering more opportunities for patients to participate in ground-breaking studies.

After 39 years working in the NHS, with 21 of those spent at Good Hope Hospital, Sandria Brown, Housekeeping Manager, is retiring. ❤️

Sandria started her NHS career in 1986, as a chef at City Hospital (Dudley Road) and was quickly promoted to head chef the following year. She came to Good Hope Hospital on secondment as a housekeeping manager in August 2004… and never looked back!

Sandria added: “My aim has always been for cleaning to be seen as a profession and vocation which people are proud to work in. I strongly believe that cleaning is a science as cooking is an art - everyone can clean but that does not make them a competent housekeeping operative. Most people can cook but that does not qualify you as a chef!” 🤌

A lecture theatre packed full of her colleagues from across the hospital said goodbye to Sandria and wished her well for her retirement.

Thank you, Sandria, for your leadership, kindness and warmth, and your passion and dedication to the housekeeping profession. We’ll miss you.
