Big news from @geshNHS

Proud moment for #vascularsurgery!

💡Hope for Motor Neurone Disease patients

@geshNHS is one of just 3 UK hospitals trialling a new drug that could slow MND, a condition that damages the nerves controlling movement.

Local patient David is among the first to receive VHB937 under Dr Pablo Garcia Reitboeck’s care.

We believe research should live in our communities, not just our clinics—especially those historically underserved.

Our Dementia Research Café did just that. Being shortlisted for a 2025 @NursingTimes Award? A wonderful bonus.

Congrats to everyone involved! 🎉
