#BlackHistoryMonth celebrations are underway at our hospitals 🙌 Staff across the Trust have been getting involved in a range of activities and events this month, with more lined up until the end of October under this year's theme of 'Reclaiming Narratives'. Our wonderful Royal Brompton catering team have been marking the occasion by serving delicious themed dishes at our restaurant every Thursday.

We recently hosted a special reception at the House of Lords to mark the first anniversary of the pioneering Cardio-Oncology Centre of Excellence at Royal Brompton Hospital—the first of its kind in the UK. The event brought together key medical professionals and philanthropists to celebrate this milestone and discuss the future of cardio-oncology. Established in 2023 with a generous £1 million pledge from The Big Heart Foundation—an international humanitarian organisation chaired by Her Highness Sheikha Jawaher bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, wife of the Ruler of Sharjah, UAE—the Centre is dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of heart issues caused by cancer therapies such as chemotherapy and radiation. Under the leadership of the esteemed Dr. Alexander Lyon, the Centre has already earned a Gold Class Centre of Excellence award from the International Cardio-Oncology Society. During her visit to the UK, Her Highness Sheikha Jawaher bint Mohammed Al Qasimi unveiled a commemorative plaque at Royal Brompton Hospital and toured the Diagnostic Centre, meeting with consultants, fellows, and patients who have directly benefited from the Centre’s work.

“I remember not knowing what people were talking about when they spoke about theatres, I thought they were talking about plays and musicals!” 40 years after receiving new hearts, two patients were reunited with the surgeon who performed their transplants. Bert and Clive underwent heart transplants at Harefield Hospital when they were 18 and 12 years old, respectively. Bert, now a 58-year-old father of two living in the Netherlands, needed a heart transplant as a result of developing cardiomyopathy, a disease of the heart muscle where the walls of the heart chambers become weak, making it harder for the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body. Clive, now 52 years old, lives in Stevenage with his partner Nicola and he devotes much of his free time to fitness and is an avid runner and gym-goer. As a child Clive was diagnosed with familial dilated cardiomyopathy – an inherited form of the same condition as Bert had – and required a heart transplant. Bert, Clive and their families were reunited with Professor Sir Magdi Yacoub, who performed both of their transplant operations in 1984. They were also reunited with their cardiologist who treated them after their transplants, Dr Andrew Mitchell, and a previous sister in the transplant clinic who worked at Harefield from the 1980s to 2021, Rita Presnail.
