Join staff, volunteers and patients to plant your own tree and watch it thrive 🌱
🇬🇧 Join us to plant a SUGi Pocket Forest at Newham Hospital in London, UK. 📆 Wednesday, 26th March 2 time slots: (1) 9am - 11am (2) 11am - 1pm 📍Newham Hospital | Newham London UK 🔗 Limited spots – Sign up: https://lnkd.in/e996aJ2t Get your hands in the soil and help plant a thriving pocket forest with native trees. Discover our forest-making techniques and be part of the movement to create a more biodiverse, resilient city. Let’s grow a greener future together! This project will transform the Newham Hospital west entrance into a lush, green space, offering a peaceful, welcoming space that will be used by both patients and staff. The addition of these green spaces will not only enhance the aesthetic of the area but also serve as a habitat for local biodiversity. The trees will provide a natural canopy, creating a calming environment and surrounding visitors with vibrant colours throughout the seasons. Additionally, these trees will play an essential role in improving air quality by absorbing carbon dioxide, releasing oxygen, and cooling the surrounding environment, promoting a healthier space for all who visit. Forest Partner: London Borough of Newham and Barts Health NHS Trust Forest Maker: Adrian W.

🧬 New DNA approach helps to fight infections in record time In a UK-first, we've worked with Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency to develop a DNA sequencing approach that has been implemented in our hospitals so we can diagnose bacterial infections faster and accurately. The approach delivers results within two days, significantly faster than traditional methods which can take around seven days and, in some difficult cases, up to eight weeks. Ian Butler, DipRCPath lead clinical scientist in medical microbiology, said: “By analysing bacterial genetic material directly, we can detect infections more accurately, even complex infections, and much faster than traditional methods. This means we can precisely diagnose the infection and identify the right treatment sooner — especially for critically ill patients." Special thanks also goes to the National Measurement Laboratory, and United Kingdom Accreditation Services (UKAS) as part of the Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) Programme. The bacterial outbreak sequencing work was delivered through a funding grant from Barts Charity. Learn more 👉 https://lnkd.in/e8airP3M

A trial, of which Barts Health was a lead clinical site, has looked at the link between Crohn’s and food additive emulsifiers. Led by researchers at King’s College London, results from the ADDapt trial have shown that people with Crohn’s disease were three times more likely to see improvement of their symptoms when cutting out emulsifiers from their diet. Participants also found that their symptoms were twice as likely to go into remission, where their disease symptoms disappeared.

40 years of dedication - thank you, Ossie! ❤️ From delivering medical equipment in the ‘80s to helping keep our dental services running smoothly today, Ossie Ali has dedicated 40 years to caring for patients behind the scenes. Starting as a storeman on Wednesday 21 March 1984, he quickly became a vital part of Clinical Engineering in The Royal London Dental Hospital. “Our dress code was different back then, all the men in our department had to wear a shirt and tie, trousers, protective boots and a clean white coat every day!” His passion for the NHS and the friendships he’s built along the way have kept him going, and we couldn’t be more grateful! “I’ve been very lucky in life, doing a job that I love and meeting those individuals who have become lifelong friends, they know who they are. I have also lost dear friends along the way who I will never forget. I’m so honoured and proud to have worked for the institution called the NHS, long may it and I continue.” Join us in celebrating Ossie’s incredible milestone! 🎉👏
