Council and NHS buildings will be lit up in blue this evening and overnight to mark the occasion and to recognise the efforts of staff at vaccination sites across the area.

A SURGICAL team from Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has played a key role in a pioneering trial which could help improve quality of life for patients with rectal cancer. Surgery can often cure early-stage rectal cancer, but in the standard operation, the surgeon will remove the whole rectum, significantly impacting a patient’s quality of life, and often leaving patients with a permanent stoma or colostomy. Consultant colo-rectal surgeons Mark Steward and Jon Robinson have favoured a less-invasive approach for patients with early rectal cancer. They have been treating some of the Trust’s patients in this way since 2006, using a technique called TEMS (trans-anal endoscopic microsurgery).
