Members of our Cardiology team recently attended the Indian Food Festival at Kirkgate Market for our latest 'Know Your Heart Rhythm' event.

The team taught members of the public how to deliver effective CPR, how to use automatic defibrillators and offered the opportunity to check their heart rhythms.

A lot of people don’t know what to do when a person has a cardiac arrest and we hope that this quick recap and practice during the event will save somebody’s life.

Well done to the team!

Well done to Louisa Wood, latest winner of our Head of Nursing Award! Louisa was nominated in the category 'Grow and Develop':

"Louisa is a relatively newly qualified nurse who has recognised the support that is needed when starting a new job. She said that if she feels like this then others must too and thought about a newly qualified nurses forum. She has independently set this up, booked rooms and got guest speaker to come. This has now been advertised in other CSU's and now any newly qualified nurse can and does attend."

Well done Louisa!

Congratulations to Megan Oliver, Assistant Patient Services Coordinator, who is our latest winner of the GEM Award!

Megan was nominated by her colleagues:
"Without Megan the elective cardiology service would not run as efficiently and with ease. Megan is flexible, efficient and incredibly good in her role. She supports the ward staff and Cath Lab teams to provide the best patient experience from the initial booking right through to discharge and follow-up! Thank you for everything you do Megan, we appreciate you so so much!”

Amazing work Megan, well done!

It genuinely feels as though you’ve welcomed us not just as contributors, but as true strategic partners, and we’re deeply grateful for how much you value our patient-centred perspective.

Yesterday we had the pleasure of presenting Dr Deep Ghosh with the latest Clinical Director's Award! Deep was nominated by his nursing colleagues for:

"The most down to earth and modest consultant. He listens to the patients, he’s respectful and polite to all staff, and has real patience and humility. I remember that even as a student nurse on the ward, he would speak with me with great respect and humour, and I felt very noticed and included. As a nurse I remember him standing with me when one of our patients died, and he was a very soothing and calming presence. I was very grateful he was there. He was careful to ask me how I was for days after that very emotional death. These are two stand out moments for me particularly, and I know other colleagues that have many more. I trust him completely with my patients"

Well done Deep!
