🎃 Happy Halloween to all those celebrating from everyone at the Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust!

30/10/2026

🏛 When the Royal Berkshire Hospital first opened its doors 187 years ago, there were just 10 members of staff, and in the hospital’s first two months it saw 59 patients.

We now have a team of nearly 7,000 across seven sites, serving a community of a million people, treating someone in the Emergency Department every three minutes.

The Berkshire Medical Heritage Centre is holding its annual History Symposium on Saturday 14 November, where there will be talks covering the history of the Reading Dispensary, the evolution of elbow replacement surgery, and the links between medicine and art.

As we reach the end of Black History Month, we have a chance again to reflect on the huge contribution made by our Black colleagues now, and in generations past who helped to shape the NHS we know today - both in terms of the care we provide, and the culture we live daily.

On Global Majority Network hosted the Trust's Second Annual Black History Month Conference with colleagues from across the Trust sharing their lived experiences of working in the NHS. It was a chance to celebrate where we are, learn from each other, reflect on where there is more to do, and understand how we move forward striving for equity.

Thank you to everyone who attended, and to our Global Majority Network colleagues for organising such a thought-provoking and inspirational event.
