International What Matters to You Day brought colleagues together across North Middlesex University Hospital, St Michael’s Primary Care Centre and Chase Farm Hospital to share what matters most to them, what makes them proud, and the changes they would like to see.

A fantastic day of engagement and collaboration between staff and executives, filled with meaningful conversations, smiles, prize giveaways and a real sense of connection across our sites.

A new £2.8m radiotherapy machine is now treating patients at North Middlesex University Hospital, marking a major step forward for cancer care.

The advanced TrueBeam linear accelerator (LINAC) provides faster imaging, more precise treatment delivery and increased capacity for complex radiotherapy and clinical trials.

Funded by NHS England, the new technology will help ensure more patients receive timely access to high-quality cancer care.

Denise is scared of heights. Her son, Jamey, is terrified of needles. Together, they are facing their fears.

Jamey lives with Gaucher’s disease, a rare genetic condition that caused years of bone pain, nosebleeds and seizures before he was finally diagnosed at the Royal Free Hospital in 2024.

Denise wants to thank NHS staff for the specialist care Jamey receives. For her, that means clipping into a harness to take on our Brave New Heights abseil down the 90ft Pears Building to raise money for families coping with rare conditions.

Denise said: “I can’t do much to help, but I can do this. I'll be thinking of my boy waiting at the bottom. Everyone should do the abseil - enjoy it and make money for the Royal Free London while you’re at it.”

If Denise’s courage inspires you, tag someone you would abseil with and use the link in the comments to sign up for our Brave New Heights abseil today.

Our first blog is written by Linda Bogod, elected patient governor and lead governor. She reflects on the government’s 10‑Year Health Plan and what it means for the RFL’s council of governors.
