In September, our ICU team at Whipps Cross Hospital went above and beyond for a patient who was worried about his dog left home alone. With no next of kin listed, staff worked with the Police and RSPCA to rescue his beloved pet, Billy. 🐕

After the patient sadly passed away, our team persisted to ensure Billy was safe — and thanks to their dedication, he has now been rehomed. 🐾

At Barts Health, we’re proud of our incredible staff who go the extra mile to care for patients and their loved ones, from beginning to end. 💙

We’re celebrating 10 amazing years of our Youth Empowerment Squad (YES) — the young people who are helping shape the future of care at Barts Health 💙

YES gives young people a platform to share their voices, influence decisions, and make hospitals more welcoming for everyone.

From creating youth-friendly information to helping recruit staff and improve services, their impact has been huge.

Here’s to the next decade of empowerment and change 👉 https://orlo.uk/FTiIe

Celebrating 10 years of My Body Back clinic 💙

A decade of providing trauma-informed healthcare to survivors of sexual assault.

From cervical screenings to maternity care, our specially trained team creates safe, compassionate spaces where survivors can access the healthcare they deserve - without re-traumatisation.

👩‍⚕️"My Body Back is about restoring trust - in the body, in healthcare, and in being heard." - Dr Felicity Saunders

Founded by survivor Pavan Amara and established by Dr Jill Zelin and colleagues, the clinic at Mile End Hospital has grown from 36 to nearly 150 patients a year 🏥

Survivor Natalie found the service 'invaluable' after her assault in August 2021.

"My Body Back supports survivors by empowering them to continue to choose to survive, and the health care they provide is life saving" - Natalie

We're proud of how far we've come in 10 years and the survivors who remind us every day why this work matters ✨

Great news for east London 💗

A dedicated breast cancer centre of excellence is coming to St Bartholomew’s Hospital next year, offering thousands of women faster diagnosis, safer surgery and fairer access to advanced treatments and reconstruction.

Thanks to a £16.6 million investment from Barts Charity, the new centre will help transform care and improve outcomes for breast cancer patients across our part of London where survival rates are currently among the lowest in the country.

From being told he might never walk again, to trekking the Great Wall of China 🌏

Meet Michael, who was diagnosed with incurable blood cancer (myeloma) in 2013 after collapsing at home and discovering a tumour on his spine.

After surgery, he was told he might never walk again. But with the expert care of his clinical team - and the unwavering support of friends and family - Michael has rebuilt his life.

Discussing the care he continues to receive at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, he says:

“I have no doubt that without their help, I wouldn’t be here today.”

From a wheelchair to walking sticks, he’s now preparing to take on the Great Wall of China, raising funds for the vital research that he says has “helped keep him going for the last 13 years.”

Born at just 23 weeks and weighing only 610 grams (about half a bag of sugar), Freddie spent 230 days in neonatal intensive care at The Royal London Hospital.

His mum, Lucy, has called our staff “absolutely incredible” after he underwent multiple surgeries and even battled sepsis.
