The trust said antimicrobial resistance is one of the most significant global health challenges of our time and that it supported World AMR Awareness Week from 18 to 24 November 2024. [4]

In January 2025 it promoted a free event for people to explore careers in Healthcare Science and Allied Health Professions. [3]

It has also profiled Simon Lovett, its Chief Allied Health Professional and a physiotherapist, as someone passionate about putting allied health professionals at the heart of the organisation. [5]

It described Carers Week, 9–15 June 2025, as a nationwide awareness campaign that shines a light on unpaid carers who support family members or friends living with illness, disability, mental health conditions or age-related challenges. [2]

The trust also said the NHS is offering free Hepatitis C testing to people who might be at risk, to help achieve the World Health Organisation target of ending Hepatitis C worldwide by 2030. [1]

The announcements and the appeal together show official NHS messaging and grassroots fundraising both being used to address health and crisis needs in the area. [1][2][3][4][5][6]
