A collaborative pilot between Ashford and St Peter’s Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and South East Coast Ambulance Service (SECAmb) has successfully tested a new community based model of care for patients who have fallen at home. Running from July to October 2025 for two days per week, the service paired a Consultant Radiographer from Ashford and St Peter’s Hospitals with an Advanced Paramedic Practitioner from SECAmb to jointly review 999 calls, assess patients in their homes, and provide rapid X ray imaging using a mobile machine. Images were transmitted instantly to Ashford and St Peter’s Hospitals for reporting, enabling clinical decisions within around 30 minutes.

Ashford and St Peter’s Hospitals and Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trusts have confirmed Joss Bigmore as Group Chair, following the completion of governance processes at both organisations.
Joss was recently appointed Chair of Ashford and St Peter’s Hospitals and continues in his role as Chair of Royal Surrey. The Group Chair arrangement strengthens leadership continuity and builds on the strong partnership already in place between the two trusts and supports closer joint working where this adds value for patients, staff and services.
Both trusts will continue to operate independently, with their own Boards, governance and decision-making responsibilities.
Group Chief Executive Louise Stead welcomed the confirmation, highlighting the benefits for staff, patients and system working.

We are incredibly proud of a recent Emergency Department initiative supporting our end-of-life patients and their loved ones.
Sasha Campbell (pictured left), our End-of-Life Link Nurse, developed a thoughtful idea to offer crocheted keepsakes to patients and their families, providing comfort during an unimaginably difficult time.
With the help of a small community group in Axminster, Devon, we were generously gifted hundreds of crocheted hearts and flowers. These simple but meaningful items have already made a powerful difference to relatives and friends at this difficult time.
We are extremely grateful to the Axminster community for their kindness and support, and to Sasha for championing an initiative that reflects such compassion and care.
