Our Highly Specialist Speech & Language Therapist, Susie Lloyd, recently wrote a guest blog for Stamma exploring her 'suit of armour' analogy for living with stammering. This metaphor reflects the heaviness, rigidity, and barriers that can make spontaneous communication and connection more difficult. Read the full piece over on the STAMMA blog.

Last week, our colleagues Rebecca (Bromley Health Visiting), Alexandra and Naomi (Children's Bladder and Bowel) represented us at SEND Local Offer Live, an event hosted by Bromley SEND Local Offer. The day was filled with games, activities, taster sessions, and resources for children and young people with SEND and their families.

Thanks to Rebecca, Alex, and Naomi for sharing information, advice, and resources with attendees. It was a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness of the support we offer and connect directly with families in the community.

This summer we were lucky to host Nath Samaratunga, a Cambridge Judge Business School MBA and Robert Wood Johnson Medical School student from the United States, as a Strategy and Transformation Intern at Bromley Healthcare.

Nath contributed to projects improving data integration and urgent care pathways — work that aligns with the NHS 10-year plan focus on integrated, preventative, and community-based care.

Reflecting on his time with us, Nath described Bromley Healthcare as “a model of what healthcare can be when innovation meets compassion.”

"This experience has deepened my conviction that healthcare must be both compassionate and strategic, and that real change is possible when organisations put people at the centre."

On Day 5 of Ask About Asthma Week, we're highlighting a handy tool. An Asthma Action Plan is your personal guide to managing asthma. It helps you know what to do when you’re well, when symptoms start, and in an emergency. Having a written plan makes you 4 times less likely to need hospital care for your asthma. If you don’t have one, ask your GP or asthma nurse today. It’s a simple step that could make a big difference.
