University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust's Royal Stoke University Hospital has recently opened a brand new ward.
The new ward opened following Government investment last year. UHNM's Chief Executive, Tracy Bullock, said that it was bright and welcoming and set the template very high for future wards.
I would like to thank all our NHS staff, particularly those in Newcastle-under-Lyme and in north Staffordshire at the Royal Stoke, for their hard work over what I know has been a very challenging time with the extraordinary levels of demand we saw in December through flu and Covid. Levels of flu have since fallen substantially and I hope this ward helps reduce the pressure still further.
