On Tuesday 11 November, we marked Remembrance Day, honouring the members of the Armed Forces who have died in the line of duty.

To commemorate this important occasion, our Chaplaincy and Spiritual Care Team, in collaboration with the Religion and Belief Forum, held a short service in the Worship Centre at Croydon University Hospital.

During the service, Deborah Kelly, Chief Nurse, and Matthew Kershaw, Chief Executive, laid poppy wreaths and led a two-minute silence at 11am. The ceremony also included a candle lighting, symbolising our prayers for peace in the Middle East and hope for peace in all areas of conflict across the world.

Over the weekend, Rev’d Andy and Deborah Premraj represented our Trust at the official Remembrance event in New Addington, joined by the Mayor of Croydon, Jason Perry.

This week we were pleased to welcome Matthew Taylor, Chief Executive of the NHS Confederation, to Croydon! 👏💙

The visit highlighted innovation in community pharmacy and how working together across the system can help ease pressure on primary and secondary care while improving outcomes for patients.

Matthew was joined by Hilary Williams, our Managing Director for Community Services and Integration, and Kiran Bhogal from our Pharmacy team — who, alongside the team, plays a key role in strengthening partnerships between community and hospital pharmacy. We were also joined by our brilliant South West London colleagues. 🤝

Pearl Chemist Pharmacy, which is located within the hospital, showcased their hospital discharge medication service, shining a light on how collaboration between community pharmacy, acute services, and system partners supports safer, more connected, and patient-centred care. 💊

🎉 Celebrating Black History Month 🎉

Throughout October, we’ve been marking Black History Month, catching up with colleagues to hear how they connect with this year’s theme — Standing Firm in Power and Pride.

In her unedited blog, Lillian Auma, Head of Costing and SLR, reflects on what this theme means to her as a Black woman in NHS leadership, the challenges she’s overcome, and how she continues to empower others through visibility, mentorship, and allyship.

She shared: “Navigating barriers such as unconscious bias and limited representation at senior levels has required perseverance and self-belief. I’ve stayed resilient through commitment to professional excellence, ongoing learning, and supporting others — knowing that every step forward helps shift perceptions and makes the path clearer for those who follow.

As Black History Month comes to a close, we are reminded that celebrating Black excellence, history and culture shouldn't be confined to just one month.

Let's continue to honour the contributions of Black colleagues an communities every day by challenging inequality, creating opportunities and championing inclusion in all that we do.
