Her Majesty the Queen

Published on 09/09/2022

We are deeply saddened to hear the news that Her Majesty the Queen has died.

Her Majesty holds a very special place in our history and in our affections; her visit in 2012 to officially open the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham was such a special day and is remembered with great pride.

Our thoughts are with the Royal Family, at this incredibly sad and difficult time.

Further information on how colleagues and visitors to our hospitals may pay tribute will be available shortly.
