We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Colin Stokes MBE, a remarkable supporter of Royal Surrey whose dedication transformed prostate cancer care for our community.

Colin (pictured left) generously gave his time and energy to our urology patients. He worked for over a decade with Professor Stephen Langley to raise £3 million and secure matched NHS funding to enable the opening of Royal Surrey’s Stokes Centre for Urology in 2019. The state-of-the-art facility was opened by His Royal Highness the Duke of Kent (pictured right), and went on to win the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) Healthcare Building of the Year Award in 2020, standing as a fitting tribute to Colin’s vision and dedication.

His generosity and commitment have left a lasting legacy that will benefit patients and families for generations to come. Our thoughts are with all who knew him.

Meet Kathy Rogers, our Senior Transformation Lead who has taken on an apprenticeship in coaching.

Kathy has a passion for helping people to grow and achieve their goals. She decided to take a coaching apprenticeship to do just that, applying all she’s learning to her job.

She said: “I saw training as a coach as an opportunity to develop a more thoughtful, reflective, and people centred leadership style… One of the biggest surprises for me is how energising coaching is - both as coach and coachee. The course has benefited me by strengthening my ability to support, challenge, and develop others in a constructive and sustainable way.”

We're proud to support Kathy on her journey 💙

Cancer and Surgical Innovation update 🏥

The front exterior of the centre is nearly complete, with internal features rapidly taking shape.

The construction team from MTX have been powering ahead – installing lifts and completing the plant room that will help keep the centre running smoothly.

Attention now turns to landscaping which will frame the centre’s entrances.

Meet Krisztina Doggett, a first-year apprentice within our operating department.

As an Operating Department Practitioner (ODP) apprentice, she supports patients throughout their operation, from anaesthesia through to recovery. She previously worked as a Healthcare Assistant on Compton ward.

Krisztina said: “It's a privilege to support patients undergoing often life-changing procedures in theatre, and to be trusted as part of a team that helps guide them safely through some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives. It is a challenging pathway but extremely rewarding.”

We're proud to support Krisztina on her journey 💙

Congratulations to our Harm Free Care Team, who won Clinical Team of the Year at our recent Royal Surrey Stars staff awards ✨

The team works to reduce hospital-related harms sustained through falls and long periods in bed. Their solution-focused approach consistently delivers impressive results, particularly in pressure ulcer prevention and wound care processes.

Working collaboratively with departments hospital-wide and community healthcare colleagues, they're a high-performing team driving meaningful change for safer, more effective patient care.

Well done to our Harm Free Care Team!

“Even during our busiest moments, they all do their very best to ensure the trust’s users are able to continue their work, which in turn helps the trust and all of its patients,” – Ian Bigg, IT Service Desk Manager.

Let’s show some appreciation to our dedicated IT Service Desk team.

They are the first point of contact for IT support across the trust. They answer more than 800 calls every week, and each team member can have up to 80 pieces of work in hand at any one time.

Their responsibilities include recording the details of reported IT service issues, and then working to restore service as quickly as possible, or escalating them to the appropriate specialist support groups.

Ian is incredibly proud of his team and the work they do behind the scenes. He said:

“They all help each other and do their very best to help all our trust’s users. They do a great job of keeping on top of requests, while at the same time educating users on how they are able to help themselves through self-service options.”

Thank you to our incredible IT Service Desk team!

Please give a warm welcome to our new and returning T Level students 👋

Joining us from local colleges, the up-and-coming healthcare professionals are here to gain work experience as part of their T Level qualification.

During their placements, students learn practical skills, shadow our team members and gain valuable insights into patient care.

Venson Nuevas, Practice Development Charge Nurse said:

“It’s great to see the students build their confidence and start to get a real feel for working in busy hospital settings.”

We’re honoured to play a role in inspiring the next generation of healthcare staff 💙

Congratulations to Caroline Mullins, Ward Clerk, who won the Charity Inspiration Award (sponsored by Royal Surrey Charity) at our recent Royal Surrey Stars staff awards

Based at Milford Hospital, Caroline is truly dedicated to supporting people living with dementia. Working with our charity, she organised a 15-mile fundraising walk, which included planning the route, setting up the online giving page, and rallying the troops to get involved.

Through her enthusiasm for the cause, Caroline assembled 28 staff members who laced up their trainers and walked side-by-side.

Thanks to Caroline’s drive and determination, the walk raised just over £2,400 to support dementia care.

Well done, Caroline!
