The event, which used to regularly take place before the COVID-19 pandemic, showcases the dedicated work of Trust consultants, clinicians and staff to provide local communities with fantastic healthcare.

Open to the public, the evening event will return on Thursday 30th November from 7pm until 8.30pm in the Lecture Theatre at Macclesfield Hospital.

The first event will see Nicola Biggar (pictured), Head of Midwifery, share the journey of her department throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and the return of maternity services to Macclesfield Hospital earlier this year.

East Cheshire NHS Trust Medical Director, John Hunter, said:
