“It sounds quite a cliché, really, but believe in yourself. If you've got a passion to do something else, make sure you follow it, because your happiness is the most important thing.”   Nick is a senior data officer in the liver research team at University Hospitals Birmingham. After a career in hospitality, Nick came to the NHS because he wanted to help people and enrolled on a business administration apprenticeship through The Learning Hub, our dedicated careers service. Now, he has progressed to a senior role and has had the opportunity to travel with his work. Nick said: “I feel like there are a lot more opportunities in this job. As opposed to my previous career in hospitality, where I felt I was stuck in a rut. Everyone here is a lot more positive and supportive of my development.” Read more about Nick and his career in this week’s, ‘We are UHB’ blog.

𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞! 🥊 Kind-hearted staff at Heartlands Hospital pulled no punches arranging for a teenager, who has a rare type of cancer, to meet his heroes. Boxing mad Ollie from Birmingham was treated to a surprise meeting with GB Boxing as they continued their preparations ahead of the Paris Olympics. Earlier this year, Ollie was rushed to Heartlands Hospital, after his leg broke whilst boxing in his local gym. It turned out that a tumour had caused the horrific break and tests soon revealed that the16-year-old was suffering from a very rare type of bone cancer, that affects one in 1.5 million people. Ollie made the brave decision to have his leg amputated, to stop the cancer from spreading further. Moved by Ollie's incredible bravery and spirit, our compassionate staff decided to do something special for him. They reached out to GB Boxing, who were preparing for the Paris 2024 Olympics, and arranged for Ollie to meet his heroes at the home of national boxing, The Lions’ Den, based at the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield. 🇬🇧 Carla Lally, Senior Emergency Practitioner said: “Ollie’s courage has been inspiring for all of us. We wanted to give him a memorable experience, and thanks to the generosity of GB Boxing, we made it happen. Seeing Ollie's smile was priceless.” 💙
