🏆 King’s Critical Care Roof Garden wins in the .

🌿☀️ Located on top of our 60-bed intensive care unit, it allows our most critically ill patients to be safely cared for outdoors in the fresh air and sunshine, surrounded by nature, while still receiving life-support treatment.

The garden won awards for:

👉 Best External Environment/ Landscaping Project (proudly dedicated to the memory of its late designer, Nigel Dunnett)
👉 The deeply meaningful Patient’s Choice Special Award (voted for by the public)

The Roof Garden was made possible thanks to a generous donation from King's College Hospital Charity, alongside funding from our Trust.

Congratulations to our staff and partners who brought this vision to life, and thank you to our patients, families, and local community.

💙 Meet Maddie this . Maddie is a newly qualified Occupational Therapist (OT) in our Health and Ageing Team.

Maddie’s career journey at King’s began in 2022 as an OT Assistant. Since then, she has trained across multiple specialities, completed her MSc, and returned to to build her career.

💡 Talking about what inspired her to become an OT, Maddie, said:

“I met an occupational therapist and I was really interested in what the role involved. It seemed to combine a lot of my interests, particularly psychology, working with people, movement and rehabilitation. The more I learnt about it, the more I felt it aligned with my interests. I decided to start as an OT Assistant to get some first-hand experience of the role and quickly realised how much I enjoyed it!”

🎗️ Breast Cancer Awareness Month: raising awareness and encouraging screening

Throughout October, our South East London Breast Screening Team has been speaking to patients, visitors, staff and members of the public at King’s about breast cancer awareness, recognising the signs and symptoms, and the importance of breast screening.

Using medical breast models, educational videos and conversations with our professionals, the team has helped people understand what to look out for, how to check their breasts, pecs or chest, and what to do if they notice a change. They have also answered questions about breast screening, family history and genetic risk.

Julia, Health Promotion Specialist at King’s, said:

💬 “Some of these women had never screened before or had been putting it off for a while; but afterwards many felt more reassured and were motivated to book and attend their appointment with our support, so this was fantastic!”

💗 Know your normal. Notice any changes. Seek advice.

If you notice any unusual changes, contact your GP. You do not need to wait for a screening appointment to seek advice.

📧 For more information, contact [email protected] or for or any breast screening appointment queries (for women age 50+) contact the London Breast Screening Hub at 0203 758 2024.

🏥✨This , we’re celebrating Amon Ahimbisibwe, a qualified Physician Associate working as a Senior Healthcare Assistant at the Princess Royal University Hospital (PRUH).

🔹 On his role at the PRUH:

“My role involves supporting patients with their day-to-day care, carrying out observations, monitoring their wellbeing, assisting with mobility, and working closely with nurses, doctors and the wider team to ensure patients receive the best possible care. No two days are ever the same, which is one of the things I enjoy most about the role. I value being able to support patients through what can be a difficult time for them and their families, while working alongside a fantastic team committed to delivering safe, compassionate care every day.”

🔹 On the cultural wisdom that guides him:

“One thing I was always taught growing up in Uganda was, "However far you travel, never forget where you started." It's something that's stayed with me over the years. Whether it's my work, studies or personal goals, it reminds me to stay humble, appreciate the people who helped me along the way, and remain connected to my roots.”
