Keeping Britain Healthy is our ongoing campaign of celebrating the NHS and the heroes, who are part of it and are making it so great. Below we’ve listed just some of the incredible stories we managed to gather as part of Keeping Britain Healthy.
#KBH – NHS doctor successfully delivers baby against all odds
The maternity team at Tameside Hospital, Ashton Under Lyne provided care to a mother who suffered from paraplegia and type one diabetes. The birth was made more challenging as the baby’s growth was below the tenth centile (foetal growth restriction). In the mother’s own words “my doctor is my angel who helped my dream come true”.
#KBH – Physio improves patient care
Tricia from Southend has suffered from arthritis since being a teenager and as she has grown older, her mobility has become affected in different ways. After visiting a physiotherapist for 6 months, the mobility in her shoulder and arm has increased dramatically and there is no longer a need for surgery. Tricia says: “I am so grateful for his patience and support and thankful for the dramatic improvement in my quality of life.”
