In the latest episode of Don't Say The Q Word, we're joined by Donna Hilton, Youth Service Manager at Nottingham Children’s Hospital, who has recently been awarded a British Empire Medal in the King’s Birthday Honours.

Donna reflects on her incredible 27-year journey leading one of the NHS’s pioneering hospital youth services, helping young people living with long-term conditions build confidence, form meaningful connections, and find a sense of belonging.

Through powerful real-life stories, she shares how creating safe and supportive spaces within hospital walls can make a lasting difference - and why ensuring young people feel heard can be truly life-changing.

Nottingham University Hospitals receives dedicated Motor Neurone Disease research nurse as part of national scheme help patients and their families.

One patient who has already benefited from the support given by the MND Care Centre in Nottingham is retired farmer George Gidlow, who has worked as a dairy farmer on his family farm with a herd of 550 cows for much of his life. George was diagnosed with the degenerative disease in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, and has since been treated by clinical nurse specialists, speech therapists and physicians at NUH.

George, aged 66, said: “The team at NUH have been absolutely brilliant and are stars in the way they help me. They work so hard for patients and are very positive, so I am really supportive of anything they do to help people through this appalling disease.”

💉 Your donation can save lives

Meet Rita, she lives with sickle cell disease, an inherited blood disorder that affects red blood cells. Instead of being round and flexible, the cells can become sickle-shaped, making it harder for them to move through blood vessels and carry oxygen around the body. This can cause severe pain, fatigue, infections and other serious health complications.

To help manage her condition, Rita relies on blood transfusions every six weeks at Nottingham’s City Hospital. These transfusions are vital, helping to reduce complications and improve her quality of life.

This World Blood Donor Day Nottingham are helping to share Rita's simple message: “Do it… you could be helping someone like me.”

Giving blood is quick, safe, and truly life-changing. Please consider donating — you could make all the difference. ✨

A special visit with a big impact 💙

Local poet Liz Carney-Marsh returned to Nottingham Children’s Hospital to donate copies of her new football poetry book, "Back of the Net", which has been published in time for the World Cup. ⚽📚

Having been a patient herself as a child, Liz spent time reading with patients and staff, sharing her love of poetry and ITV were there to capture it all.

Visits like this bring smiles, inspiration and a reminder to our Children's hospital patients that they’re not alone.

💙 50 years of NHS service, thank you, Algis
For half a century, Algis has been helping keep our hospitals running behind the scenes as a Boiler Operator, a role, he’s proud of, even if it often goes unseen.
Starting in the NHS at just 16, Algis has dedicated 50 years of service, including 41 years at Nottingham City Hospital, now NUH. And retirement? Not just yet: “I’ve still got the steam in me.”
This week, Algis was celebrated with a special 50‑year recognition award at our NUH Long Service Awards.
Thank you, Algis, for your dedication, hard work and kindness – we’re incredibly grateful.

Thanks to a £38,000 donation from Nottingham Hospitals Charity, every family with a baby receiving neonatal care at Nottingham University Hospitals can now access a breast pump at their baby's bedside.

For mum Amanda Harvey-Rae, whose twins Arya and Sophie were born at 32 weeks and are receiving care at City Hospital's neonatal unit, the pumps have made a huge difference. Being able to express milk right beside her babies means she can stay close to them while providing vital nourishment.

A huge thank you to everyone whose donations helped make this possible.

In Episode 3 of Don't Say The Q Word, we meet Nottingham Children’s Hospital patient Ella Davey and her mum, Emma.

At just 16 years old and preparing for her Year 10 GCSE mock exams, Ella woke up one morning looking "white as a ghost." What she thought would be a routine blood test quickly turned into something far more serious, and within hours she was admitted to hospital.

Soon, Ella found herself on Ward E39, the teenage cancer ward, beginning a journey that neither she nor her family could ever have imagined.

Watch Ella and Emma share their story in this powerful episode. 💙
