What a moving morning at Bradford Royal Infirmary for our Service of Remembrance. 🌹

We came together to honour and remember the dedication and sacrifice of all those who’ve defended our freedoms. A special thank you to Rev Steve Lees for leading the service, and to the Year 5 pupils from Thornton Road Primary School for their beautiful poems – they really touched everyone’s hearts.

After the service, it was wonderful to catch up over refreshments, enjoy some wartime songs, and connect with fellow veterans and families. Huge thanks to everyone who joined us and made it such a meaningful day.

Our Emergency Department was originally built to see around 250 patients a day — but now treats up to 500. The new Excel programme is helping us meet that challenge by improving experiences for patients and staff, reducing waits, and shortening hospital stays.

In this month’s video, Tania Windle, Jeremy Till and Vaqass Akhtar explain how the team is working with partners across the system — and using feedback from colleagues and our communities — to drive real change, from redesigned spaces to expanded Same Day Emergency Care.

🎥 Watch the film to see how we’re enhancing experience, reducing waits and shortening length of stay.

🎃 🎃

Keep it spooky and safe. Let’s ! 👻

🔥 Skip the candles - use LED lights for costumes & pumpkins!
🚗 Glow up - reflective tape & glow sticks = visible kids!
🎭 No masks while trick-or-treating - face paint for better sight!
🍬 Watch out for choking hazards - no munching while moving!

For more safety tips, visit: https://capt.org.uk/halloween/ 👇

Happy Halloween! We hope you have a safe and spooktacular time.

If you’re trick or treating tonight please remember:

🎃 Halloween costumes can be highly flammable. Try to keep little ones as far away from naked flames as possible. Even better, use LED candles, glow sticks or torches to light up your pumpkins instead.
🎃Help make children more visible to drivers by adding reflective tape to their costumes or accessorising with glow sticks.
🎃 Masks are spooktacular but they can make it harder for children to see or hear traffic. So, consider using face paint for trick or treating and save the masks for indoors.
🎃 Watch out for treats that might be a choking hazard for young children, like hard sweets, lollipops or mini-eggs. It’s best to avoid eating while walking or running, so you may want to save up all the treats to enjoy back at home.
