Visitors to Solihull Hospital may experience some temporary disruption to the visitors’ car park tomorrow morning (Wednesday 28 October) while urgent tree works take place.

Following the heavy winds over the weekend, two sycamore trees between Grove Road and the visitors’ car park have been identified as a potential safety hazard and need to be removed.

Tree surgeons will be on site from 08:00, with the work expected to be completed between 10:30 and 11:00.

Part of the visitors’ car park will be cordoned off while the work takes place. However, vehicles will still be able to access the car park and park safely.

Please allow a little extra time if you are visiting the hospital during this period.

We apologise for the short notice and any inconvenience caused. The work needs to be carried out urgently to keep patients, visitors and colleagues safe.

Meet Wasim 👋

This AHP Day, we're celebrating our Allied Health Professionals and the difference they make to patients every day.

Wasim helps to deliver specialised patient-centred care and rehabilitation directly within a patient's home or care centre.

He promotes exercise and independence and his goal is to keep people safe within their own home and support them to live independently for longer.

Wasim says the best thing about being a community physiotherapist is helping to support confidence and supporting people to regain their independence in the place that they feel most comfortable in.

Thank you to our community physiotherapy teams, and to all our AHP colleagues, for the incredible care, support and expertise you provide every day. 💙

Every day, our Allied Health Professionals make an incredible difference to the lives of our patients.

From support workers and apprentices to students and registered professionals, every member of the team plays a vital role in each patient’s journey.

Please join us in wishing all our amazing AHP colleagues a very happy AHPs' Day 💙.

As we continue with Admin Week, we are continuing to celebrate some of our brilliant administrative colleagues across UHB.

Meet Bradley and Aman, the team leads for UHB's Complex Discharge Team.

Bradley leads the team across Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham and Good Hope Hospital while Aman leads the team at Solihull and Heartlands hospitals.

The Complex Discharge Team works with patients, families, healthcare professionals and community partners to help patients leave hospital safely when they are medically ready to do so. The team supports hundreds of patients each year to find the right place in the community, whether that's a care home, rehabilitation setting or support package at home.

Their work helps patients move on to the next stage of their recovery while ensuring hospital beds are available for those who need them most.

Bradley and Aman are incredibly proud of their team and the difference they make every day. By coordinating complex plans, bringing together multiple organisations and keeping patients at the centre of every decision, they help some of our most vulnerable patients get the support they need in the right place.

Thank you to Bradley, Aman and all our administrative colleagues for the vital role you play in supporting patients and services across UHB. 💙

This week we're celebrating some of our brilliant administrative colleagues across UHB as part of Admin Week.

Meet Sue, a medical secretary in dermatology at Solihull Hospital.

Sue has spent an incredible 29 years working in a variety of roles at Solihull Hospital. During that time, she has supported patients, colleagues and services across the hospital.

Sue says one of the best parts of her job is working with a fantastic team, including three brilliant consultants. While the role is busy, she sees herself as a "cog in a big machine" and knows every task contributes to patient care.

Patients are at the heart of everything Sue does. She takes pride in helping services run smoothly and supporting colleagues to deliver the best possible care.

Thank you, Sue, and all our amazing administrative colleagues, for the difference you make every day. 💙
