We are very proud to share that our very own Dr Jane Fletcher, Consultant Nurse for Nutrition and Intestinal Failure at QEHB, has been appointed as the next President Elect of the British Association for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (BAPEN). 🎉

She will become the first female and first nurse ever to take on this role in BAPEN’s history. 👏

On her appointment Dr Fletcher said: “It’s an incredible honour to be chosen as BAPEN’s next President Elect. I’m deeply grateful for the trust placed in me and proud to be the first woman and first nurse to hold this position.

“At its heart BAPEN is a multi-disciplinary organisation. I hope that my appointment will encourage other nurses and allied health professionals to apply for similar senior roles. It’s such a great opportunity to get involved and influence care on a national level.”

💗 Pink Power at QEHB 💗

Colleagues from across QEHB came together in style for Wear It Pink Day last week, raising an incredible £1,171.95 for breast cancer research and awareness! 💗

From fabulous pink outfits and homemade bakes to heartfelt conversations, the event was a powerful show of community spirit and compassion. Even Old Joe at the University of Birmingham
joined in, glowing pink in solidarity!

🗣️ Sally Austin, Hospital Operations Director for QEHB, said:

“A huge thank-you goes out to everyone who took part, whether you donated, dressed up, baked, or simply helped spread the word. Your kindness and enthusiasm truly make a difference, and this incredible total is a testament to the power of collective action for breast cancer awareness - a cause that is very close to us.”

And it’s not over yet! At the end of November, Jack Morgan, General Manager, will be shaving his head to raise even more funds 💪

Let’s keep the momentum going – check your breasts, talk about it, support research, and save lives. 💕

Researchers at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham (QEHB) have helped make an important discovery for people with a rare type of skin cancer called Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma.

New results from the PROCLIPI Study show that patients treated with a medicine called mogamulizumab (POTELIGEO) experienced improved overall survival.

Now in its tenth year, the PROCLIPI Study is the largest international study of its kind, involving 2,547 patients across 19 countries.

Professor Julia Scarisbrick, Consultant Dermatologist at QEHB and Chief Investigator of the study, said: “The PROCLIPI Study demonstrates the power of global collaboration in rare diseases. By bringing together data from across the world, we can generate insights that simply wouldn’t be possible in isolation. We are proud to coordinate this initiative here in Birmingham in partnership with Prof Kim at Stanford University, California, as we’re working to build rigorous scientific evidence while giving patients and their families a better understanding of what long-term survival looks like.”

Today, on World Amyloidosis Day, we are shining a spotlight on the Midlands Amyloidosis Service at QEHB, which has been transforming care for people with amyloidosis – a rare and often hard-to-diagnose condition – since it opened in 2019.

Led by Dr William Moody, the team has diagnosed more than 250 patients to date, with around 150 now receiving new and innovative therapies.

In recognition of its quality and impact, the service has recently been awarded NHS England commissioning for the first time.

Dr William Moody said: “I’m enormously grateful to all the staff at the Centre for Rare Diseases, where we hold our monthly clinic - it’s a real team effort. Through this service, we’ve been able to give local patients access to vital disease-modifying therapies that have genuinely improved their outcomes, which has been incredibly rewarding.”

A new study, led by researchers at UHB and Anglia Ruskin University, has revealed widespread and largely undetected sensory health issues among more than 500 adults over 50 in Cambridge and Peterborough.

The pilot UK National Eye Health and Hearing Study (UKNEHS), found that a quarter of participants had vision impairment in at least one eye, 76% had hearing loss, and 81% had never undergone a hearing test.

The findings highlight an urgent need for funding for a larger study to gather baseline data that can help shape more effective, targeted, and equitable health and social care services.

Watch the video below to hear Jameel Muzaffar, Consultant Ear, Nose and Throat Surgeon at UHB, explain why early detection and treatment of hearing loss is so important and read more about the study findings here: https://orlo.uk/kVYV3

The Festival of Lights, also known as Diwali, is one of the most popular festivals in Asia and is a time for celebrating by Hindus, Sikhs, and Jains.

Diwali signifies the spiritual triumph of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.

The Sikh celebration known as Bandi Chhor Divas ("Day of Liberation") commemorates the day when, the sixth Guru of Sikhs, was released from Gwalior Fort. The Hindu festival of Diwali often coincides with this day.

We wish everyone celebrating a very happy Diwali.
