Jo from Locala's Engagement Team was back at Princess Royal Health Centre last week, asking our Podiatry, MSK, and Diabetes Service patients about their experiences.

Jo said: "I chatted with one of our regular Podiatry patients who comes here for wound care. He summed up his feedback as, 'Quick, clean, and clever!' He told me he is very pleased with the service." 👏

It's great that our Engagement Team can be out and about in our communities, gathering feedback from our service users. 📣

Our wonderful colleague Fiona Brown, an occupational therapist at Mill Hill, raised over £3,000 for Martin House at the end of 2024!

is a hospice for children and young people in Yorkshire, providing essential help and care for those with illnesses and their families.

Through her swimming and achieving such a huge total, Fiona was recognised by the hospice, particularly given the Christmas period can be difficult for some families.

Fiona raised this haul in memory of her son Liam, and we're in such awe she's been able to highlight the great work done by Martin House! Well done Fiona - we are so proud!

There is a weather warning in place for all areas that Locala operates across, which is expected to remain in effect for the next few days.

Please can we urge all members of our communities to stay safe and look out for those who are most vulnerable during this time.

The forecast continues to have a significant impact on services, and our teams are working hard to ensure that those who need to be seen are seen as soon as possible.

For some of our services, there may be delays or appointments that need to be rescheduled. We are working hard to keep patients informed, so please bear with us.

We would like to give a big shout-out to our wonderful colleagues who were out and about in our communities during the bad weather yesterday and today!

A number of colleagues were not scheduled to work but donned their wellies and coats and set off to support patient visits wherever they could go on foot.

Thank you for being so caring and dedicated. We are so grateful for your support! 👏
