Last week, our Chief Nurse, Salli Midgley, visited Chorlton House to present Zoe Moorhouse with a certificate and the very first ‘Proud to be a GMMH Nurse’ badge.

This recognition followed feedback from a service user whose life was saved thanks to Zoe’s quick thinking. Spotting early signs of sepsis during a home visit, Zoe acted immediately, calling an ambulance and ensuring life-saving treatment. Doctors later confirmed that without this swift intervention, the service user might not have survived.

Expressing their appreciation, the service user, said: “Zoe saved my life. I have the utmost appreciation for her.”

After years of struggling with binge eating, Carl contacted his GP and was referred to Living Well Tameside – a partnership between The Big Life Group, Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust, Tameside, Oldham & Glossop Mind, Tameside Council and many others.

Working with mental health and wellbeing practitioner Katie, Carl learned practical techniques to break his unhealthy binge eating cycle – like taking a short walk after meals or pausing between eating and his next task. ‘The therapy was behavioural focused, taking the emotion out of eating, changing habits and disrupting patterns,’ Carl says. ‘I’m no longer binge eating and I feel close to full recovery.’

Carl is building on his progress with support from cognitive behavioural therapist Ihuoma at Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust adult eating disorder service.

This International Men’s Day, Carl’s story shows that recovery is possible. Great progress Carl and brilliant work from Katie, Ihuoma, and our mental health and wellbeing practitioners across the country 💙

Following an annual review, we have retained our two-star Triangle of Care status. This is the tenth year in a row we’ve been recognised by the scheme – signing up to it in its infancy.

Has your mental health been impacted by a cancer diagnosis?

Are you finding adjusting to life after a cancer diagnosis or treatment a challenge?

Are you worrying about your health and the future?

If so, we can help!

NHS Talking Therapies has launched a dedicated pathway to offer support to people affected by cancer. Our team of friendly, experienced and qualified professionals will work with you to help you to understand your mental health difficulties and to show you new ways of coping. We are able to help with a range of problems that are common among people affected by cancer, including low mood, worry, stress, and difficulty coping. Working on these problems can help to improve overall wellbeing and quality of life.

Our service is free, confidential, and available to anyone registered with a GP in Manchester, Bolton, Salford, Trafford and Wigan.
