As we move through the autumn, here's a reminder of what's been happening at Northumbria Healthcare in September.
Top honour for Leigh
Our nurse endoscopist Leigh Donnelly has become the first nurse to be awarded the prestigious President’s Medal from the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) .
The award recognised the work carried out by Leigh, who is also the trust's endoscopy education and training lead, to make the endoscopy department greener and more sustainable.
Completion of Hexham upgrade phase 2
The second phase of a major investment in Hexham General Hospital is now done, with the completion of a new oncology day unit, endoscopy unit and women's health suite.
This follows phase 1 which saw a new maternity unit created, before phase 3 will deliver new operating theatres.
Thanks to project partners Identity Consult , IHP - VINCI and Sir Robert McAlpine , and NHFM (Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management) .

National patient experience awards nominations
We have been nominated for five different projects across six categories in the Patient Experience Network National Awards 2024.
This covers work by our school-aged immunisation service, the care of the elderly team at the Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital in Cramlington, the MHSOP (mental health services for older people) team, our BSL Navigators project, and the patient experience team.
"It is really pleasing to see staff-led improvement projects leading the way"
Hospital hosts museum exhibition
Berwick Infirmary has played host to an exhibition which explores the history of healthcare in the town and surrounding areas.
Keeping Berwick Healthy was co-curated with Museums Northumberland as part of its Femmer to Firmer project. It featured medical artefacts from both a professional and domestic setting from the early 1900s to the 1960s.
The exhibition, which was organised by our Bright Charity, has now finished.
