Measles is back… and we’re seeing more cases than we should!

It doesn’t always look serious at first.
High temperature. Runny nose. Cough. Sore eyes.
Easy to mistake for a cold.

But a few days later, the rash appears and by then, it can already be spreading.

Measles can make people seriously unwell.

The protection is simple: the MMRV vaccine.

👉 Check you and your child are up to date
👉 Speak to your GP if you’re unsure

Don’t wait. Just check.

Before modern wards… before today’s technology… there were people like Glenys Welch!

Glenys trained and worked at Dudley Road Hospital. From curfews to matrons doing rounds, it was a world that demanded resilience, dedication and real community.

Today, we’re resharing a special video from 7 years ago, where Glenys sits down with her grandson, Thomas Walsham, to reflect on her time as a nurse - a real glimpse into what nursing used to be like.

Stories like Glenys’ remind us that today’s NHS is built on generations of people who gave their all to care for others.

Do you remember life on the wards back in the day? Or have a story to share? Drop it in the comments

Congratulations to the 'More than a Job' programme, led by the Trust's Widening Participation team, which has been recognised by the NHS Excellence Awards.

The programme has been named Midlands regional champion in the Valuing our People category, which recognises initiatives that improve career pathways, wellbeing and staff experience.

Today we held a joint celebration of Vaisakhi and Rama Navami at our Spiritual Care Centre at the Midland Met for patients, staff and visitors.

Vaisakhi is one of the most important dates in the Sikh calendar as it commemorates the birth of Khalsa in 1699.

Rama Navami is a Hindu festival that commemorates the birth of Rama, also known as the seventh avatar of Vishnu and one of the revered deities in Hinduism.

Thank you to everyone who joined us.

This moment capturing the celebration of Vaisakhi and Ram Navami at City Hospital Chapel in 2013 is a reminder of something really special - the strength, warmth and richness that comes from being part of a truly diverse community.

Vaisakhi is a time of reflection, celebration and new beginnings, and moments like this show how our hospitals have long been places where cultures, faiths and traditions come together.

Share your memories of cultural celebrations ....
