Did you know that in January alone, our amazing community helped us save £2,000 just by returning used crutches, frames, and walking sticks? That is an incredible result!

By returning equipment you no longer need, you’re helping us:

• Reduce waste and help the environment.
• Save vital funds for our therapy services.
• Support the next patient on their road to recovery.

If you have any equipment gathering dust at home, please drop it off at any of our hospital sites.

Further details on where you can return items can be found on our website https://www.enherts-tr.nhs.uk/services/acute-therapies/equipment/

Congratulations to Ward 8A Nurse and DAISY Award winner, Vandana Vivek!

Vandana has been recognised with a DAISY Award for her exceptional care, advocacy, and for being a "lifelong impact" on a patient during a challenging three-week hospital stay.

Nominated by a patient who identifies as neurodiverse and a medically complex wheelchair user, Vandana was praised for her rare ability to make a patient feel like "the only person in the world that matters." In an environment where clinicians are often rushed, Vandana consistently carved out time to listen, provide explanations, and most importantly, ensure the patient’s voice was heard and respected.

The nomination highlighted how Vandana looks past a diagnosis to see the individual:

"As a disabled person we are seen for the difficulties, but not the person that we actually are. Vandana has shown me that she has the patient's interests in the forefront of her mind always... she has settled my anxieties and treated me with the utmost respect. To show her that I am forever eternally grateful for not only an exceptional nurse but a wonderful lady too. Nurses like this deserve the world."

Thank you, Vandana and also our East & North Hertfordshire Hospitals' Charity for generously funding our DAISY Awards.

Congratulations to Specialist Bowel Screening Practitioner and DAISY Award winner, Maureen Nool!

Maureen has been recognised with a DAISY Award for her exceptional compassion and ability to turn a vulnerable, stressful experience into one where the patient felt truly safe and valued.

Nominated by a patient for her "warm and friendly manner," Maureen was praised for how she handled a difficult situation when the patient became unwell during an appointment. She managed the moment with extraordinary calmness and respect, prioritising the patient's dignity above all else. Going above and beyond her professional role, Maureen also took the time to find the patient's wife in the waiting room to offer personal reassurance, ensuring the whole family felt supported.

Her ability to connect on a human level left a lasting impression:

"Maureen truly saw me as a whole person, not just a patient. When she came to check on me, she told me how proud she was of me... offering the kind of empathy that can't be taught. Maureen is an absolute credit to the NHS. Her compassion, dedication, and human touch turned a vulnerable moment into one where I felt valued, supported, and understood."

Thank you, Maureen, for your dedication and for providing the kind of care that people remember for a long time.
