🔥 WEST YORKSHIRE, ARE YOU READY FOR THE 24-HOUR THERAPY DASH? 🔥

200+ NHS staff. 24 hours. 4 NHS Trusts. Hundreds of miles for charity.

On 18 September, NHS colleagues from across West Yorkshire will run, row and cycle non-stop for 24 hours to raise money for their local hospital charities.

What began at Bradford Teaching Hospitals in 2025 has grown into a region-wide challenge, bringing colleagues together from Bradford, Calderdale & Huddersfield, Leeds and Mid Yorkshire.

And last year? The Bradford team covered an incredible 1,030km (640 miles), roughly the distance from Bradford to Berlin! 🌍

This year, with more than three times as many participants, they’re aiming to go even further. 💪

Good luck to everyone taking part. Let’s keep West Yorkshire moving!

September is

Our muscles matter. We need them to walk, eat, smile, breathe – to live. But over 110,000 people in the UK live with a muscle wasting condition, which gradually damages the way their muscles work.

For some, their condition stops them from living day-to-day life. For others, it cuts their lives short.

Welcome to August’s monthly round-up film.

In this episode we’re telling you more about a trailblazing AI project at St Luke’s Hospital which detects skin cancer earlier and helps reduce waiting times.

Dermatology staff can use the AI software to rapidly analyse skin lesions and flag small moles that are most likely to be cancerous, with far greater precision than standard techniques. Early evidence suggests it could be a game-changer – significantly reducing the number of urgent referrals that need review by dermatologists, reducing waiting times and allowing the team to concentrate on the most urgent cases.

There’s also a round-up of other news from across the Trust.

🏆 Let’s hear it for our latest : the Vascular Secretaries!

This small but mighty team works incredibly hard behind the scenes at BRI to keep our patients safe, informed, and cared for.

Despite facing major staffing shortages, Jodie, Sophie, and Irtaza have achieved something truly remarkable. One year ago, patients faced a six-week delay to receive their clinic letters. Today, thanks to this team's rapid efficiency, those letters are typed on the exact same day as the clinic appointment!

Admin Team Leader Natalie, who nominated them, said: "The team presents a united front, colleagues always support each other and this shows in the positive attitude and atmosphere in the office."

The Vascular service provides vital clinics across Bradford, Calderdale, Huddersfield, and Airedale.

Please join us in celebrating their hard work. Drop a comment below to say thank you, give them a huge thumbs up, and share this post to show your support for our incredible NHS staff! 💙
