Check out the new fully automated kiosk that teaches CPR at Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. As the first of its kind in an NHS hospital, the kiosk teaches patients, visitors and staff how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) using an inbuilt mannequin and screen guide. Eve Flockton, Bradford Teaching Hospitals Trust's resuscitation training lead said: ‘Everyone should know how to do CPR effectively as you never know when you might need it. ‘The chances are it could be someone you know as most cardiac arrests happen in the home or workplace.’ Knowing CPR can mean the difference between life and death.

The new Sexual Misconduct Framework provides clear guidance on how to recognise, report and act on sexual misconduct, with the introduction of anonymous reporting to ensure every staff member feels supported in coming forward. A range of resources and specialist support will be available, including trained allies and expert investigators.

'Working in pharmacy isn’t just a career, it’s a way to make a real difference to people’s lives and the NHS.’ Aged 16, Poonam started her pharmacy journey with a part-time job in a community pharmacy while doing her A-Levels. At the age of 16, she applied for a Pharmacy Assistant role at a local hospital and never looked back. ‘This one step led me to do a pre-registration pharmacy technician course which was suitable for me as I was able to earn money while learning.’ Poonam went on to qualify as a Pharmacy Technician. From working in specialised areas like HIV and cancer to becoming an Educational Supervisor, her journey has been full of growth and new opportunities. Today, Poonam works for a major Primary Care Network in London, running long-term condition clinics and help patients take control of their own health. ‘If you’re thinking about a career in pharmacy, take that first step - you never know where it might lead!’ Thank you to pharmacy technicians like Poonam – your vital work helps patients take control of their health and ensures people get the most out of their medicines.

‘It’s a real honour to have won! I would encourage anyone in healthcare to choose a career in nursing, I’ve found it so rewarding.’ Congratulations to Rose, who jointly received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the #NHSParlyAwards today for more than 49 years of NHS service. Affectionately known as ‘Matron Rose’ while at work, she started working in the NHS in 1975 — three years after she ran the 100 metre relay for Ghana at the Munich 1972 Olympics. Once known as the ‘fastest woman in Africa’, Rose dedicated her career after racing to London North West Healthcare NHS Trust. Retiring earlier this year, Rose added, ‘I have been in this hospital all my life, so retirement feels like losing something — you’re part of the furniture and all of a sudden you are not going to be. But I’m so happy that I have achieved what I wanted to achieve.’ Congratulations to all of the winners and nominees from today’s awards! 💙

‘Everyone in that hospital deserves every single accolade and recognition that is possible. They all played a part in our journey, and we’ll always be in their debt.’ When 14-year-old Thomas collapsed after a cricket match, he was rushed to hospital and scans found that he had a brain tumour — around the size of a golf ball. Thomas underwent radiotherapy and chemotherapy at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, and had a revolutionary proton beam therapy which uses beams of precise radiotherapy targeted at the tumour, reducing damage to the surrounding healthy tissues. His condition resulted in Thomas losing most of his physical strength, balance, and speech, and he worked with occupational therapists and physiotherapists to rebuild these skills. ‘Having physio sparked me to want to go into that profession, they helped me get back on my feet. The therapists helped me become more independent and get back to the regular activities that I do normally’. Now 18, Thomas is off to university to study physiotherapy, inspired by the care he received at Manchester Children’s Hospital. Good luck, Thomas! There are over 350 rewarding careers available in the NHS. Find your role at https://lnkd.in/g4_Ncnf

‘I love being a nurse. It’s not what I do, it’s who I am.’ Jean is celebrating 50 years as a nurse and is still working in the same trust where she trained, North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust. With no plans to retire yet, Jean started working for the NHS when she was a teenager in 1974. ‘I still have the same enthusiasm that I did when I first qualified. Over the last 50 years I think I have seen it all, but this job can still surprise you every day. Looking back, it’s the people you care for and the people you work with that you remember the most.’ With more than 50 different nursing roles in the NHS, no two nursing careers are ever the same.

People often struggle to take the time they need to heal from the trauma of pregnancy loss, and a national policy framework for staff is available across the NHS. NHS trusts are being encouraged to offer staff who suffer a miscarriage in the first 24 weeks of pregnancy up to 10 days additional paid leave, and partners of somebody who suffers a miscarriage up to five days. Women who experience a loss after six months of pregnancy will remain eligible for paid maternity leave. Trusts can also support by giving staff paid time off to attend follow up appointments, scans, and tests, including mental health-related support. Staff who return from work after their pregnancy loss can also be offered occupational health support including referrals to specialist services, or specialist miscarriage and baby loss charities and organisations.
