Our Robins group – our support group for anyone who has lost a loved one – will meet on Monday, 17 November, in the Louise Hamilton Centre, on our hospital site.
The group, which is for anyone who has been bereaved who would like some support, meets each month in the Centre on a Monday between 1pm and 2pm, and offers a space for you to talk and remember a loved one.
The meeting is organised by our Cancer Care Navigators but you do not have to have lost someone to cancer – anyone who has lost a close loved one is invited. If you would like to, please come along and have a chat. Light refreshments are provided, free of charge.

The British Medical Association (BMA) strike action by resident doctors began today, and runs until 7am on 19th November.
During the strikes, there may be fewer doctors working than usual, and they will need to prioritise life saving care.
Less urgent cases may experience longer waits during strikes.
The NHS is asking patients to choose services appropriately during industrial action and take simple steps to help ensure care is available to patients who need it most.
This includes using 111 online as the first port of call for health needs, and, as ever, only using 999 if it is a serious or life-threatening emergency.
For more information, visit https://111.nhs.uk/

13/11/2025

Resident Doctors Strikes will take place from 7am tomorrow, the 14th November to 7am on 19th November.

Veterans attending our regular coffee morning earlier today, Wednesday 12 November, took the opportunity to remember fallen colleagues and all those who serve, with a short remembrance ceremony including a wreath laying in our Louise Hamilton Centre garden.
The Centre hosted dozens of veterans and guests for the social coffee morning and our Armed Forces Support Officer Kath Hutton, who led the ceremony, and the Louise Hamilton Centre team, including Centre Manager Sue Francis, were joined by James Paget hospital Executive Managing Director Dr Shane Gordon.
You can find out more about our Armed Forces Service work, and some of the support available, on our website here: https://www.jpaget.nhs.uk/.../armed-forces-support-service/

12/11/2025

The British Medical Association (BMA) has announced strike action by resident doctors from 7am on 14th November to 7am 19th November.

Please use 111 first, and only use 999 if it is a serious or life-threatening emergency. For more information on when to call 999 and when to go to A&E, visit the NHS website.

It is really important that patients who need urgent medical care continue to come forward as normal.

However, less urgent cases may experience longer waits during strikes – and we are asking patients to choose services appropriately during industrial action.

Our next Coffee, Cake and Natter session is being held in the Louise Hamilton Centre on Thursday, 13 November, between 10am and 12noon.
The sessions are held in the Centre, on the James Paget hospital site, on a Thursday every month and are open to anyone who has a cancer diagnosis and their loved ones.
You are welcome to drop in or to come along for the whole event, and can have a chat over tea or coffee and cake as well as getting information and advice from our Macmillan Cancer Care Navigators, who organise the event.
The team can signpost you to organisations that can help at different stages of your journey with cancer, including to groups and charities that may be able to provide emotional and financial assistance.

Our hospital is currently very busy and we’re asking you not to come into our Emergency Department unless it is a genuine emergency.
An emergency is a serious injury or life-threatening problem such as chest pain, severe shortness of breath, severe abdominal pain, loss of consciousness, sever allergies, heavy bleeding, suspected broken bones, deep wounds, swallowing something harmful or poisonous or a drug overdose, any signs and symptoms of a stroke or infants and children with persistent fever despite paracetamol.
If it’s urgent but not an emergency, or if you are not sure where to seek treatment for your illness or condition, please use the NHS 111 service by dialling 111 from any phone or by going online - https://111.nhs.uk/ - and they will advise you on what you should do.

World Radiograph Day is on the 8th November every year to commemorate the first discovery of Xrays on this day in 1895 by Wilhelm Roentgen.
The day is now used to raise awareness of the profession of radiography and its vital importance in modern medicine. Imaging has advanced leaps and bounds since the first discovery of x-rays and now includes ultrasound, MRI , nuclear medicine and CT as well. Treatment with radiotherapy is also undertaken by Radiographers. Many visits to hospital will involve a visit to the imaging team. Find out more about our Radiology team and the services they provide here; https://www.jpaget.nhs.uk/departments/radiology/
