Turku University Hospital has a beautiful tradition of gifting every newborn a pair of knitted socks but recently, they ran out and called for donations. Our Turku colleagues stepped in, using their knitting skills to create 96 pairs of tiny wool socks, each made with care, warmth, and heart. Last week, we had the privilege of delivering them to the maternity ward, where they will help keep newborns warm during their very first days. A simple gesture but one that brings comfort, kindness, and a sense of community.

Getting an important check or scan shouldn’t be a hassle. Community Diagnostic Centres are making it easier to book vital tests like MRIs, CT scans and ultrasounds nearer to home. That's why we're opening new centres and expanding existing ones across England. More: gov.uk/government/news/nhs-p…
