Patient-first healthcare is at the very core of everything we do at CHEC. 💙

We are absolutely delighted to share this wonderful feedback from a recent cataract surgery patient, who highlighted the clarity, calmness, and professionalism provided by our expert clinical team.

Undergoing eye surgery can naturally bring feelings of anxiety, which is why our teams dedicate themselves to ensuring every stage of the journey is clearly explained, transparent, and reassuring.

A huge thank you to our exceptional clinical team for continually upholding our patient-first standard, and to our patient for sharing their brilliant experience.

🌍 Growing Patient Care, Shrinking Our Footprint 🌍
This , we are proud to share how CHEC is decoupling operational growth from environmental impact.
In the last year, we delivered vital care to over 581,000 people. But growth shouldn’t cost the earth. Thanks to our team's dedication, we reduced our carbon intensity ratio from 3.93 to 3.33 per 1,000 appointments!

Here’s how we’re making sustainable healthcare a reality:
⚡ Clean Energy: 100% renewable electricity contracts are now live across 90% of our directly controlled sites.
🚗 Green Fleet: 1/3 of our corporate fleet is now fully electric.
♻️ Zero Waste: Estate-wide standardised recycling and zero-to-landfill contracts are being prioritised.
👥 Culture Change: Empowering our teams through our new 'Green Champions' initiative.

Thank you to our incredible staff and Estates team who are building a healthier, greener future for our patients and the planet. 💚

💚 "Thankfully I won't have to hide during family photos at the wedding!" 📸

There is nothing better than knowing we've helped a patient feel comfortable, reassured, and ready for a special occasion.

This lovely 5-star feedback left for Mr Elgendy at our CHEC Preston who helped a patient with a painful, stubborn stye right before a sister's wedding is stressful enough, but we are delighted that our team could provide the quick, clear guidance and treatment needed to get things sorted.

Thank you to our wonderful patient for sharing their experience, and brilliant work to Mr Elgendy! 🎉

It’s completely normal to feel a bit anxious if your GP mentions a colonoscopy. The good news is that it’s a safe and routine test, and one of the best ways to properly understand what might be causing your symptoms. Most of the time, it’s simply about getting clear answers and reassurance.

Your GP or specialist might recommend a colonoscopy if you’ve experienced things like:

🔵 A change in your bowel habit that hasn’t settled after a few weeks
🔵 Unexplained weight loss
🔵 Ongoing abdominal discomfort or bloating
🔵 Blood in your stool

These symptoms are often linked to common conditions; such as haemorrhoids or IBS - but it’s still important to have them checked properly, in line with national guidance.

A colonoscopy allows specialists to look directly at the bowel and, if needed, take small samples. For many people, it provides reassurance; for others, it helps identify problems early so they can be treated promptly.

At CHEC, we focus on timely, high-quality care, and we’ll support you through each step so you know what to expect.

💙 If you’re concerned about symptoms, speak to your GP or visit our website to learn more: https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0vGlj70
