We are delighted to now offer Bowel Cancer Screening at Salford Royal thanks to a collaboration with colleagues at Bolton NHS Foundation Trust. This work is part of the Bolton Bowel Cancer Screening Programme which supports patients who receive an abnormal test result across Bolton, Salford and Wigan. We are proud of the work of our colleagues to make this happen and providing this service at Salford Royal to patients for the first time. #NHS #Health

'Having the flu jab was so quick and easy.' Protection from previous flu and COVID-19 vaccines fade and the viruses change over time. Make sure you’re ready for winter by getting vaccinated, even if you’ve had flu or COVID-19 or have been vaccinated before. #Vaccinations #Flu

We’re pleased to launch our new visitors’ charter today. The charter provides a clear and consistent approach to when visitors can visit ward areas across our hospitals.

Read more on the new charter on our website – see link in the comments. #NHS #Visiting

Colleagues have been raising awareness and understanding of antimicrobial resistance and what we can all do to slow it down across our hospitals this week. Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites no longer respond to antimicrobial agents. As a result of drug resistance, antibiotics become ineffective and infections become difficult or impossible to treat, increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness and death. #Health #NHS

Today is #RemembranceSunday when we take the opportunity to come together to remember the service and sacrifice of all those who have defended our freedoms and protected our way of life.

We’re delighted to be part of the rollout of a new AI-powered chest X-ray in Greater Manchester (GM) which is set to help us detect diseases, like lung cancer more quickly. When the chest X-ray solution identifies potential lung cancer cases, the information is relayed to the reporting medical provider in under a minute. This allows healthcare professionals to prioritise the review of the chest x-rays identified as suspicious, helping to detect (or rule out) cancer more quickly. The tool will enhance efficiency and care quality within lung cancer detection in Greater Manchester. #AI #Health #NHS
