We’re proud of our people who improve care for our patients.

Take Kira and Elliott, who developed a new physiotherapy programme for patients awaiting cardiac surgery. Their tailored approach led to shorter critical care stays, earlier hospital discharge and fewer post-op complications. 💙

We’re proud to announce the finalists for the #MSEShineAwards 2025, a special event celebrating amazing staff across our hospitals in mid and south Essex. From 450+ nominations – from patients, staff and our community - we have our 27 finalists! Check them out: www.mse.nhs.uk/shine-staff-...

Damien, a new nurse on the Burns Unit, always wanted to follow his mum and aunt into nursing.

He helps patients recover from burns or skin loss, celebrating every small win. “I wouldn’t be where I am now without my amazing team,” he says. #MSETeam 💙

Shoutout to Sarah for running three #Disney races in memory of baby George. His parents, Beccy and Tom, were supported by Southend Hospital’s bereavement team. Sarah’s fundraising, match-funded by her company, will help The Butterfly Suite support grieving families.

Jackie celebrated 40 years as a nurse this New Year’s Eve!

Starting at #Orsett Hospital in 1984, she’s been at #Basildon Hospital since 1989 - now leading as Senior Sister on James Mackenzie ward. Dedicated to heart care, Jackie credits her team for her passion. Here’s to Jackie! 💙 #NHSsky

Did you see our burns team at Broomfield Hospital on @itvanglia.bsky.social?

They helped Dilara, 25, who suffered severe burns at 8. Advanced laser treatments softened her scars and boosted her confidence. Now she is training as a nurse and praises the team's life-changing care. #NHSsky 💙

Congratulations to Melanie and family who welcomed their Christmas Day baby, Freddie. He was the first boy born on Christmas Day at Southend Hospital.

Melanie said: "I still can’t quite believe we have a Christmas Day baby! His big sisters, Lily and Maisie, think he is the best present ever.”

Shout out to @essexcricket.bsky.social who have been visiting #Broomfield Hospital to spread festive cheer to patients, staff and families! 🎄

Players from the men’s and women’s teams took a break from training to bring smiles, gifts and joy to the children’s ward. #NHSsky 💙 #Chelmsford

At Southend Hospital, Ward Manager Jade has spent 10 years spreading festive cheer. From gifts for patients to personalised presents for staff, she ensures everyone feels cared for. Jade says: "It’s about letting people know they’re not alone." Southend Hospital's very own Santa! 🎅

We also think taking a moment to reflect is important, especially this time of the year.

Here’s one from our archives: Leigh Ward at Southend Hospital. #FestiveFriday #NHSsky 💙

Christmas is here at Basildon, Southend and Broomfield Hospitals thanks to our very own Santa’s little helpers Ella, Evie and Phoebe! 🌟

This means faster recovery, shorter hospital stays, better mental health and an all-round better patient experience. 💙 #FestiveFriday #NHSsky
