A Big Thank You to Mr Bagshaw at The Grammar School at Leeds and Staff at Leeds Beckett University

We wanted to say a huge thank you to Mr Bagshaw at GSAL for making protective visors, as well as donating some protective goggles to help protect our staff during COVID-19.
We also wanted to say a huge thank you to Leeds Beckett University for providing us with some of their unused PPE to help protect our staff during COVID-19.
Both of these donations are greatly appreciated by everyone at LSMP and we want to thank you all for your support.

A Big Thank You to the nursing staff on the respiratory ward of St James' Hospital.

My thanks generally to all front line workers, but particularly to the respiratory ward at St James’ hospital. I spent some time there last year and the doctors and nursing staff were admirable. They took such good care of me and l found out from my family later that l was going into heart failure. These wonderful people nursed me back to health. May God bless them and the rest of the NHS staff. Thank you.

A Big Thank You to Maternity staff at LGI

A huge thank you to the maternity staff at the LGI, in particular Naomi, Student Jess (delivery suite) and midwives Danielle and Victoria on the induction ward. I gave birth to my son alone two weeks ago but I felt 110% supported by the amazing staff. I had a birth plan in mind but ended up with the complete opposite which was completely fine as I had an amazing midwife and student caring for me and my baby. I felt safe and supported even though my husband couldn’t be there. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your care and professionalism at such a vulnerable time. You were born to be midwives and are a credit to Leeds Teaching Hospitals. I am so grateful you were there to look after me and get me through the birth of my beautiful boy xx
