Staff and visitors gathered in our Safe Garden earlier for our Remembrance Day service. The service was led by our Lead Chaplain, with readings, prayers, a two-minute silence and a hymn sung by our hospital choir. Wreaths were laid on behalf of the Trust and the East Anglian Ambulance Service.
The bench in our Safe Garden that honours veterans with two red poppy wreaths on it. This is a black metal bench which has a 'Lest we forget', poppies and soldier figure design as the back rest. The poppy wreaths have the organisation name on white card in the centre and cards are attached to both wreaths.

A team from the James Paget have been recognised for their ‘outstanding contribution’ to a research project exploring the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help detect pre-cancerous growths in the bowel; www.jpaget.nhs.uk/news-and-eve...
Our photo shows four of the team - three of them in grey Nurse Endoscopist uniforms and one a consultant surgeon in smart casual clothing - facing the camera. One of the women holds the Medi Capture recorder, which looks like a tablet screen on a silver box with buttons/ dials on the front. The four stand in a light coloured room with a monitor screen on the wall behind them, with a black screen with light writing and a light round image, like an endoscopy image, on it.

Building work at the James Paget’s newest Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) has now been completed in a project which has seen the creation of brand new facilities inside an existing hospital building; www.jpaget.nhs.uk/news-and-eve...
A group of staff and partner representatives - around 15 individuals - stand outside the entrance to the Northgate Community Diagnostic Centre. The building is made of red brick, and this fills the background of the photo. Above the heads of the people is a large sign reading 'entrance' and part of the NHS sign identifying the building as the Northgate CDC is visible behind this.

A photograph of a group of eight people holding a long yellow Alexa Trust banner in front of them. The group stand in front of a World Breastfeeding Day display and are all smiling at the camera. The photo has been taken from one end of the group, so some are nearer the camera than others. A man in the middle of the group holds a 'thank you' certificate while some of the pumps are visible on a trolley behind the yellow banner, which has black writing on.
