Ward A2 PCH

Today we recognise nurse Kate and Sue, who were gifted chocolates by a patient in appreciation of their excellent standard and quality of care. Feedback like this reflects their professionalism, compassion, and commitment to patients wellbeing and care. Well done Kate and Sue 🥳

Thank You Thursday… Huge thanks to Night Matron David Hardiman for supporting the A2 team on a sensitive day. His compassion, professionalism and expertise meant so much to staff and families. Thank you, David.

This week we would like to extend the warmest of welcomes to Vera. Vera is not an unfamiliar face to the team, she has worked with us throughout her NHS career beginning as a healthcare assistant, and is now being welcomed to the A2 team officially as a Staff nurse.

This week we’re spotlighting Jo Wilson, A2 Surgical Divisional Lead for Capacity & Flow. A natural problem-solver with a positive attitude, Jo always puts patients first. Thank you for everything you do! 👏💙

We would like to congratulate Healthcare Assistant Charlotte Fuller and Staff nurse Ana Lachica for being awarded A2s best documentation for December award. Both staff members excel with their documentation. It is always accurate, well detailed and completed in a timely manner.

Senior nurse Kate was awarded with the compassionate act of the month when during a particularly difficult shift she went above and beyond to deliver kindness, empathy and respect. Her actions provided comfort & support by combining her clinical knowledge with a desire to help.

Star Shift of the Month December’s award goes to an outstanding day team who worked through an incredibly challenging shift caring for several unwell & deteriorating patients. Led with passion by Deputy Sister Kim, the team — Kate, Emilia, Paulina, Steph, Ana, Roy, Jude and Remi

On Dec 12, Ed Almiranez and Ana Lachica led a tracheostomy study day at Hinchingbrooke Hospital, sharing expert knowledge and hands-on skills to support safe care and escalation for neck-breathing patients. A2 are proud of this achievement 👏

Congratulations to Raichal, our Best Datix of the Month winner. She submitted an exceptionally well-reported Datix with detail, a strong action plan, a clear focus on patient safety and escalation. The leadership team are grateful for this positive approach to incident reporting.

It’s a boy 💙 Sending love and congratulations to our colleague Meika and her family on the safe arrival of baby Tahir. Mum and baby are doing wonderfully, and we couldn’t be happier for them. Wishing your family endless love, special memories and lots of joy from all of us on A2

A2 are proud to have been part of the Giving Tree, organised by our Duty Manager. Ward staff generously donated chocolates and toys to be gifted to children in the local community on Christmas Day. “Happiness doesn’t come from what we get, but from what we give.” 💜🙏

From everyone on A2, we’d like to wish you a blessed and joyful Christmas 🎄✨ A huge thank you to the teams working today and tonight to keep our patients safe and well cared for. Your dedication never goes unnoticed 🙏💙

Feeling very grateful 💙 Our team were lucky to receive sweet treats from a patient and his family as a thank-you for the care provided. Gestures like these remind us why we strive every day to make a positive difference in our patients’ lives 🙏✨

After a recent admission to A2, a patient kindly presented our team with a heartfelt thank-you card. Moments like these never fail to remind us why we do what we do 🌼 “The small acts of caring, like a touch or a kind word, can significantly impact a life.” 💛

Thank You Thursday! A2 was gifted a lovely card & biscuit from Urology docs Lydia & Lily. It’s been an honour working with you both. As your rotation ends, thank you for your hard work & dedication to our patients. You’re incredible—wishing you both the very best!
