Listen to our specialist Help for Heroes nurse, Hannah Robertson as she speaks to Hits Radio about how her role is helping our armed forces community across the region.

Hannah who is a former British Army nurse, joined University Hospitals Tees in June and is one of only two Help for Heroes nurses in the UK.

She said: "Being a veteran myself actually gives me the knowledge and the lived experience of some of the challenges my patients might be facing.

"I understand the language that they use and once they know I am a veteran we kind of have an instant connection and they are able to open up to me. "

On Sunday, colleagues also attended remembrance events within each of our five local authority areas of Hartlepool, North Yorkshire, Middlesbrough, Stockton and Redcar and Cleveland to lay a wreath on behalf of University Hospitals Tees.
