Looking forward to seeing @BottProf and our patient Jean (again!) on @itvtynetees from 6pm.

@HelenFordITV caught up with them today in the wake of our @lorraine appearance to talk about how our world-leading AI study can make a difference in preventing bowel cancer.

Had a bananas trip to London to be on hand for our amazing patient Jean and husband Derek. I love them 💕
@BottProf did a cracking job too.

Check out how our morning unfolded ⬇️

Huge thanks to the @lorraine @reallorraine and @LaraLewington for being so lovely.

A good read from @RyanSwiers

Making sure we understand the info we're given about our health seems an obvious part of helping us look after ourselves.

As a communication team we're putting it into practice. As a patient, I can't wait to see this across everything we do.

[North East and North Cumbria NHS @NENC_NHS]

Ryan Swiers is the NENC ICB's health literacy lead and a consultant in public health at South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust. In this blog he explains why good communication underpins great healthcare. 🗣

Thanks @bbc5live for sharing Sue’s story - check out the links ⬇️ for more about her 108-year-old kidney.

It’s journalists like @tonylivesey who made me think about being a reporter. Remember seeing him on a doc as a teenager and thinking what a crazy job it would be - it is!

[Fiona Thompson @FionaThompson__]

We’re on Vera @STSFTrust pals! 🕵🏼‍♀️

Well, from a distance through a gap in the houses in Calver Court in South Shields.

It’s just around the corner from South Tyneside District Hospital and that’s the side of the site towards John Reid Road.

@Dr_MickeyJ @STSFTrust As soon as it came on I realised it was our roof. Full marks to us both 🔍

[Fiona Thompson @FionaThompson__]

Both Robert and Sue have such amazing stories. It was fascinating to hear about their experiences and busy lives.
