Over the past 12 months, Great British Energy has helped more than 260 NHS sites in England save money on bills through the solar roll-out scheme, savings that can be reinvested into frontline services.

As of this month, 160 NHS sites in England have already completed their solar installations, with more set to be completed in the coming months.

Last year, South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust was awarded £499,656.63 for solar panel installations at Lillington Health Hub, Royal Leamington Spa Hospital, Whitnash Lodge and Heathcote House. At Lillington, the project also includes battery storage, helping to generate clean power and deliver reductions in energy costs.

We’re pleased to announce the completion of the solar installation projects at Royal Leamington Spa Hospital and Lillington Health Hub, which are now part of the growing number of NHS sites helping to triple NHS solar generation.

Across the two sites, the new PV systems will generate an estimated 348,774kWh of electricity, saving approximately £61,480 compared to grid consumption!

🩸 Today is World Blood Cancer Day 🩸

This year’s theme, “United by Unique”, reminds us that every blood cancer experience is different. Every diagnosis, journey and story is unique, but together we can raise awareness, support those affected, and encourage people to recognise when something may not feel right.

Blood cancer symptoms are not always obvious and can sometimes be mistaken for other conditions. Common symptoms can include:

• Feeling unusually tired or weak
• Unexplained bruising or bleeding
• Frequent infections
• Unexplained weight loss
• Night sweats or fevers
• Swollen glands that do not go away

These symptoms are often caused by something else, but if symptoms persist or something does not feel right, it is important to seek advice.

You can find more information about blood cancer symptoms, diagnosis and treatment on the NHS website:
