Our Tameside Macmillan Unit garden has had a refresh to provide a sanctuary for patients undergoing cancer treatment and their families.

Tameside and Glossop NHS Charity has been named one of seven national winners of The Great Community Refresh - a nationwide competition by British sweet maker Swizzels, launched to celebrate 70 years of its popular Refreshers brand.

The funding has helped us breathe new life into this much-valued space, with new seating, vibrant flowers and sensory planting to help patients and families find calm during those challenging moments.

Our new, £1.5 million MRI scanner suite opened this week after a 16-week refurbishment.

The improved scanning suite offers new accessories to make patients feel more comfortable, including an entertainment system which allows staff to project images and films on the scanner and via an in-room TV.

The upgrades are designed to reduce anxiety and claustrophobia, while creating a calming environment for children and patients with specific needs.

We are proud to be one of the first hospitals in the country to be home to an inclusive, child-friendly MRI scanning suite like this.

We have been awarded £14.4 million from the Public Sector Decarbonisation Fund to help make Tameside Hospital more sustainable and cut carbon emissions.

The money will go towards replacing our gas-powered steam heating system with modern air source heat pumps, as well as installing solar panels and improving insulation and LED lighting. We're excited to be working with Salix to deliver these improvements.

Once complete, the project is expected to reduce our carbon emissions by 2,188 tonnes of CO2e every year – that’s equivalent to a bus driving all the way around the world 480 times! This amounts to around a quarter of the carbon emissions the Trust directly controls.

This project is part of our commitment to delivering high-quality, sustainable healthcare and ensuring that our estate is fit to continue supporting the wellbeing of patients, staff, and the wider community for many years to come.

This work will not only cut carbon emissions, but will also create a warmer, more comfortable environment for staff, visitors and patients.
