To mark #IDM2024 , staff members from across the Trust gathered over the weekend to take part in the Gunnersbury parkrun. Well done to our WM team of runners!

This week is #DyingMatters week, which works to open up conversations around death and dying. For this, we encouraged patients, staff, relatives, friends and visitors to get talking about death, dying and grief in whatever way, shape or form works for them.

May is a very special time of the year where we celebrate our midwives, nurses and ODPs. To mark #IDM2024 , staff, patients and their families are invited to share a message on how amazing they are: ow.ly/qhH650RuAnp
