As we approach winter, it's important that we do all we can to stay well and also protect each another from illnesses like flu. 🦠🤒

Oke, Trust Chair, reminds us on the importance of getting a flu jab, 'If you've ever had flu, you'll know how it can make you feel really unwell, but for some people it can be really serious or even life-threatening.

You may not think that you need a flu vaccination, but it can help protect the people around you, like your family and friends. That's why I've had mine. If you are eligible for a flu jab, go get yourself booked in and I promise it doesn't hurt!'

🌍 We have become the first in the UK to use innovative robotic ultrasound technology to help speed up and improve care for patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Only seven countries across the world use the pioneering ARTHUR Rheumatoid Arthritis Ultrasound Robot, with the RBFT becoming the first in this country to use it in its Rheumatology department.

ARTHUR uses robotics and artificial intelligence to capture high-quality ultrasound images of the joints in the hand and wrist which the team are then able to use to assess, monitor, and use to guide the treatment their patients receive.

💙 As we mark Black History Month and the contribution of colleagues past and present, meet Eghosa.
……..
My father was the first doctor in our family. He came from Nigeria to train and qualify in the UK and went on to become a consultant gynaecologist. I was born during his time in Glasgow, before we returned to Nigeria when I was three.

Growing up in Nigeria, I wanted to be a magician. I wasn't particularly interested in performing tricks; I was fascinated by the idea of creating things and making something possible that hadn't seemed possible before. When I discovered that magic wasn't quite what I imagined, science seemed like the next best thing.

That curiosity eventually led me to study Engineering Physics and a role with the Ministry of Defence before I joined the NHS in 2004 as an Information Analyst at King's College Hospital - discovering another outlet for my curiosity – data.

Over the past 22 years, I've been fortunate to progress through a range of roles. I've helped develop systems supporting patient safety, explored AI in healthcare, worked with universities to turn research into NHS solutions, and had the privilege of teaching postgraduate students and sharing some of our work nationally.

Today I'm Associate Director of Digital Operations here at the Trust.

Black History Month gives us an opportunity to reflect on the people and journeys that came before us, but for me it is also about looking forward.

As a Black professional working in the NHS, I know seeing people from different backgrounds in a variety of roles can make a difference. It reminds us that there is no single route into healthcare, technology or leadership, and that opportunity should be open to everyone.

If there’s one message I’d like to share, it’s that you don't need to know where your career will end before you start. Careers rarely travel in straight lines. There will be successes, and unexpected turns. Keep learning, remain curious and take opportunities when they appear.

Perhaps I'm still that child in Nigeria looking for magic. Only now, I find it in using science, data and technology to solve problems and make a difference in healthcare.
