Congratulations to Sarah, MSK Adolescent Specialist, our 'Leader of the Month' for May!💙

A snippet of her nomination said:

"Sarah is one of the most passionate clinicians I know. She is a tireless advocate, continually working to raise awareness at both local and national levels about the importance of musculoskeletal health in adolescents. Her enthusiasm is truly infectious, and listening to her speak about her specialist area is always engaging and inspiring."

Well done, and thank you Sarah! 👏

Our Careers for Young People programme (CfYP) is heading to the BBC! 🎥

The BBC has been on the Isle of Wight this week filming with our apprentices and our Isle of Wight Division Managing Director, Nikki Turner, to find out more about the multi-award-winning programme and how it is helping young people take their first steps towards careers in the NHS and wider health and social care.

There’s a sneak peek on BBC Radio Solent’s breakfast programme tomorrow morning, with Alfie, one of our apprentices, and Rachael Randall, Chief Executive of our education partner HTP Apprenticeship College, joining presenter Josh Bowness for live interviews at around 7.10am and 7.40am.

Then look out for a preview on the news at 1.30pm, followed by the full TV feature at 6.30pm tomorrow evening.

From the Island to the BBC, it’s a pretty exciting week for CfYP! 📺

Staff at Antelope House in Southampton are celebrating one year of a music therapy initiative which supports patients’ wellbeing during acute admissions. 🎶

Music therapy is an evidence-based psychological intervention that uses music to help people regulate emotions, express themselves and support their recovery. Delivered by a Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registered Music Therapist, the service offers patients at Antelope House hospital in Southampton, an evidence-based therapeutic option during their admission.

Since Spring 2025, over 330 sessions have taken place in group and individual settings, with 96% of patients reporting a five-star experience.

Within an acute setting, music can offer immediate grounding, help reduce anxiety and distress and create safe pathways for connection during moments of crisis.
