Today is World Radiography Day and we celebrate the incredible work of our radiographers – registered allied health professionals who are essential part of modern healthcare.

Radiographers are more than image-makers. They are clinical practitioners, managers, leaders, researchers and educators. Working across two branches – diagnostic and therapeutic radiography – they play a crucial role in diagnosing illness and delivering life-saving treatments.

World Radiography Day marks the anniversary of Wilhelm Roentgen’s discovery of X-radiation in 1895. Today, radiographers use advanced imaging technologies – including X-rays, CT scanners and MRIs – to look inside the body, helping to diagnose illnesses and support interventional treatments.

Thank you to all our radiographers for everything you do. Your work is at the heart of patient care 💙

When you find out you are pregnant, you can refer yourself for NHS pregnancy care so you start care with a midwife right away.

Once you sign up online, the maternity team will contact you to book your first appointment with a midwife.

You should do this by the 10th week of pregnancy, if possible, but it’s never too late to start. If you're over 10 weeks, refer yourself as soon as you can.

Start here: https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/refer-yourself-for-nhs-pregnancy-care/

The Generation Study is a research study that tests newborn babies for 200+ genetic conditions. The conditions can all be treated through the NHS in England and can be improved if caught early. The test is free, safe, and optional. It takes place just after birth.

If you are interested in taking part, our hospital study team can sign you up in person or over the phone while you are pregnant.

Visit the website at www.generationstudy.co.uk for more information and to register your interest.

*** TRIGGER WARNING: PREGNANCY AND BABY LOSS CONTENT ***

Baby Loss Awareness Week is 9–15 October. During this week, the UHS Maternity Bereavement Team will be coming together to honour the tiny lives that left the biggest footprints in all our families’ hearts.

Throughout the week, we will be posting stories shared by some families who have experienced pregnancy or baby loss — stories of love, grief, and remembrance.

On Sunday, 12th October, please join us for our annual Forget Me Not Memorial Service. We will also be posting a special Word Cloud for all the babies we’ve sadly met over the past year.

We will hang their names in our Labour Ward garden and on Wednesday 15th October at 7pm, they will be lit up pink and blue for the Global Wave of Light. Please feel free to join us by lighting your own candle at home, in memory of a little one. Say their name. Remember them.

We know that this week can be extremely triggering and difficult for many families so please reach out to us, Monday to Friday 0800 to 1600, on 07392 128352 or email us at bereavementmidwives@uhs.nhs.uk, where we can offer support or signpost to other organisations.

You are not alone💜
