Last week during #NationalApprenticeshipWeek we met Christy Hall-Walsh, a healthcare science associate apprentice. Working as an assistant medical equipment engineer he maintains vital medical equipment across the Trust. Reflecting on his apprenticeship, Christy shared: “As an apprentice I’ve been given a large amount of help which has allowed me to gain relevant knowledge and then apply what I’ve learnt to aid the department in servicing devices. “What I don’t learn from the day-to-day is taught via the course provider in the studying section of the apprenticeship. I have gained theoretical knowledge on the procedures of the healthcare environment, which I’m able to proudly apply in my work.” We are incredibly proud of Christy and all our apprentices who help us to provide life-changing care. #NAW2025 #Apprenticeships #HealthcareScience #TeamGSTT

Well done to our women’s health teaching team for winning an 'Outstanding Teaching' award at the GKT School of Medical Education Teaching Awards 👏 The awards are designed to recognise the excellent teaching initiatives taking place across the GKT network, which includes education teams in Guy's and St Thomas'. The women's health teaching team trains the next generation of doctors in obstetrics and gynaecology. The team is made up of senior clinicians and resident doctors. They were nominated for their approach to providing the best possible education, and for inspiring and supporting their students. Their initiatives include: • a junior doctor mentorship scheme • seminars about sensitive topics • delivering extra bedside teaching • offering career advice and support about the challenges of being a doctor Professor Eugene Oteng-Ntim, clinical director for women's health services, said: "This achievement is a testament to the team's unwavering dedication, expertise, and passion for inspiring the next generation of healthcare professionals. Through their hard work, innovation, and commitment to excellence, they have set the gold standard in teaching and mentorship. "Their ability to empower, guide, and instil knowledge in others not only shapes the future of women's health but also leaves a legacy of care and compassion that will benefit countless patients for years to come." #TeamGSTT

Congratulations MediCinema for this very well-deserved recognition from BAFTA. Thank you for bringing the magic of film to our patients and their families. 💙
We are incredibly honoured to have been presented with the BAFTA for 'Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema' last night by our ambassador, Simon Pegg. To be recognised in our 25th year for the work we do in bringing the power of the shared cinema experience and the magic of film to NHS patients in hospital is a moment in our history that we will never forget. This award is dedicated to the patients, hospital partners, staff, volunteers and nurses who make our service as special as it is. Thank you to our film industry partners for your generosity in helping to bring the big screen to those who need it at some of the most challenging times. We were so happy also that our founder Christine Hill could be there. Here's the moment we were presented with the award and the moving acceptance speech by our CEO Colin Lawrence. https://lnkd.in/gfKNWEfX #FeelBetterWithFilm #BAFTA

Saturday 8 February marked the 75th anniversary of the first successful lens implant operation, known as modern cataract surgery. Since the pioneering procedure was developed by Sir Harold Ridley at St Thomas’ Hospital in 1950, there have been nearly 1 billion surgeries, saving the sight of hundreds of millions of people across the world. Husband and wife John and Freda McBean, from Chislehurst in south east London, have both had the life-changing operation at St Thomas’ Hospital. John, who would have been 1-year-old when the first cataract operation was performed, said: “I couldn’t believe it when I was told I was one of the patients getting surgery around the anniversary. It’s amazing that over the course of my lifetime this operation has been finessed, and it’s nice to be a part of the history of the hospital.” Dr Sancy Low, consultant ophthalmic surgeon at Guy’s and St Thomas’, who performed John’s surgery, said: “The story of Sir Harold Ridley’s journey is an incredible reminder of how we can bring light to the world, changing the lives of John, Freda and millions worldwide. “We learn that innovation is not always easy, and silver linings show up at the most unexpected times, as long as we never give up on doing our best for one another.” Follow the link in the comments to read more about Sir Harold Ridley. #TeamGSTT #CataractSurgery #Ophthalmology

Thank you to the 29 staff who recently received Long Service Awards for their commitment to the Trust, and the NHS. 👏 Staff receiving recognition have worked for the NHS for a minimum of 25 years each, and have collectively clocked up 725 years of service. The ceremony, which is funded by Guy’s & St Thomas’ Charity, was attended by staff covering a range of roles including nurses and midwives, switchboard operators, housekeepers, physicists, researchers and consultants. Renal nurse Glorietta Catipon joined the Trust in 1999 as a health care assistant. She was encouraged to train to become a registered nurse and has had several roles during her 25 years of service. She said: “A lot has changed in that time. But what has remained constant is my passion for patient care and the fulfilment that comes from making a real difference in people's lives." Our Chairman Charles Alexander said: “I’m proud to honour our staff members who have dedicated 25 years of service, and in some cases more, to our Trust and the NHS. I congratulate them on their commitment over the years and thank them for their fantastic contribution.” #TeamGSTT #NHS

We are excited to work with our PharosAI partners on such an ambitious and collaborative project. The ultimate prize is to give patients access to the highest quality diagnostics and therapies in a timely fashion, improving outcomes and experience.
It was a pleasure to welcome Minister for AI and Digital Government Feryal Clark MP to King’s this week to celebrate the funding of PharosAI, a ground-breaking research collaboration that will democratise cancer AI research and accelerate the path to AI-powered cancer care. PharosAI a partnership of researchers and clinicians from King’s, Queen Mary University of London, Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, and Barts Health NHS Trust, has received £18.9 million in funding from the UK government’s Research Ventures Catalyst (RVC) programme. This funding adds to £24.7 million raised from partners including charities, pharma, biotech and technology companies, and public research organisations. Professor Anita Grigoriadis, Professor of Molecular and Digital Pathology at King’s and the CEO of PharosAI, said: “AI has the potential to revolutionise cancer care. The UK has a real opportunity to be a major innovator, leading to faster diagnosis, novel and more targeted cancer treatments, and better-informed healthcare for patients. "The RVC programme allows us to build a unique operational approach between two leading universities in London, two NHS Trusts and industry partners. Our innovative collaboration will accelerate scientific breakthroughs and bring vastly improved cancer care to tomorrow's patients." #ThisWeekatKings King's Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine https://lnkd.in/ehZCFnqY
