Three aspiring midwives are preparing to take the next step in their careers, after becoming the first ever midwifery apprentices recruited at Humber Health Partnership.

The pioneering apprenticeship programme, developed in partnership with the University of Hull, will see three Midwifery Support Workers begin training towards a Registered Midwifery Degree Apprenticeship this September, while continuing to work within maternity services. The initiative has been made possible through a collaborative effort involving maternity teams, workforce leaders, executive colleagues and university partners.

The new apprentices are Alicia Brake and Kazmia Kara from Hull Royal Infirmary, and Marta Pereira from Scunthorpe General Hospital, who have all worked as Midwifery Support Workers and will now have the opportunity to gain a qualification while earning and progressing into registered midwife roles.

A transformed outdoor play and sensory garden is set to open at the Child Development Centre (CDC) at Grimsby hospital, thanks to a remarkable community fundraising effort that raised more than £25,000.

NLaG’s charity – The Health Tree Foundation – has successfully secured the funding to create the new play area garden, turning a previously unused space into a welcoming outdoor environment where children and families can relax and play while attending outpatient appointments.

The project has been supported by a wide range of donors and fundraisers, including staff-led events, community activities, local businesses and grant funding. The largest contribution came from local company Winner Winner Chicken Dinner Competitions, which donated £15,000 towards the development. Other fundraising efforts included skydives, raffles, cake sales, charity events and grant funding.

A new support group for people with brain injuries or neurological conditions is being launched at Goole and District Hospital this month.

The Neuro Connect Cafe has been developed with Senior Physiotherapist, Emily Abba, who works on the Neurological Rehabilitation Centre (NRC) at the hospital, and Headway, a national brain injury charity.

It will run on the third Tuesday of every month between 1pm and 3pm, with the first one taking place on Tuesday 15 September.

Emily said: "I spotted a gap in support for patients and their families to access when they leave the hospital. They'll often get clinical support through community therapists, and I thought it would be good if we could provide a space for them to meet other people who have been through similar experiences.

"We're running the Neuro Connect Cafe in the old canteen at the hospital, and we'll be arranging for speakers and other organisations to come in and provide useful information to our current and previous patients, and their family and friends.

"Our patients are usually in the NRC for a long time, often months, and they'll get to know and be friendly with other patients over that time. The cafe will give them an opportunity to meet each other again and catch up, as well as doing some fun activities and hear from a variety of specialists in fatigue, sleep hygiene, and health and wellbeing community services."

A spokesperson for Headway said: "We already run successful Neuro Connect Cafes in Scunthorpe and across Wales, but this will be our first in Goole. We're delighted to be partnering with Emily and the team on this exciting new venture.

"Being diagnosed with a long-term neurological condition or brain injury can have a significant impact on every aspect of a person's life. Many people experience feelings of isolation, and benefit greatly from connecting with others who truly understand the challenges they face.

"The Neuro Connect Cafe will provide a welcoming and supportive social space where people can meet others with shared experiences, access information and support, build confidence, and develop meaningful connections. We hope it will become a valuable source of friendship, encouragement, and community for local people and their families."

Emily added: "We'll be writing to our previous patients about the cafe, and we'll also be inviting our current patients to come along too. I'd like to thank all the other therapists and the staff at the NRC for helping me to get the cafe off the ground. I think it will be a great addition to what we offer in our hospital."

💙 A special thank you to one of our incredible volunteers, Jackie Sharp.

Jackie spends three days a week volunteering at Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital in Grimsby, helping patients and visitors at the main reception desk and supporting the team in our Discharge Lounge.

After noticing staff were often spending valuable time searching for wheelchairs to help patients leave hospital, Jackie decided to make a difference. Using money left to her by her late mum, she purchased a wheelchair for the ward.

Jackie said: "After my mum passed away, she left me some money and I wanted to do something good with it, so that's why I did it."

From helping patients find their way around the hospital, delivering refreshments, supporting safe discharges, knitting blankets for maternity memory boxes, and even baking cakes for staff, Jackie goes above and beyond every day.

Discharge Lounge Transport Co-ordinator Angelina Patridge said: "Her kindness, generosity and commitment make a real difference to everyone. We are incredibly grateful for everything Jackie does."

Thank you, Jackie, and thank you to all our wonderful volunteers who help make NHS Humber Health Partnership such a caring place. 💙
