💥 Is your electrical system up to date? 💥

Many homes, businesses, rental properties and commercial buildings in York still have outdated or poorly maintained electrical installations. This can create serious safety risks.

Ask yourself a few simple questions:

• Is your fuse board modern and in good condition?

• Have you had your wiring checked in the last few years?

• Are your sockets, switches and lighting working safely?

• Do you notice tripping circuits or overheating?

For businesses, landlords and letting agents there are extra responsibilities:

• Are you up to date with PAT testing for portable appliances?

• Do you have a current Electrical Installation Condition Report?

• Are all required electrical certificates in place and valid?

These checks are essential for several reasons.

Fire safety - Faulty electrics are one of the main causes of building fires. A modern consumer unit and regular inspections greatly reduce this risk.

Legal compliance - Landlords and businesses must meet strict regulations. Up to date reports and testing help you fulfil your duty of care.

Insurance requirements - Many insurers require valid electrical certificates and PAT testing. Without them you may not be covered if something goes wrong.

Protecting people - Regular testing ensures employees, tenants and customers are safe from electric shock or equipment failure.

Saving money 💰 - Identifying small faults early prevents expensive repairs later.

If you are unsure about any of the above, now is the perfect time to check.

We are happy to carry out electrical inspections, fuse board upgrades, testing and certification across York and the surrounding area.

Stay safe and stay compliant ✅

⭐ Kitchen transformation in wheldrake - Before & After ⭐

What a difference 😮‍💨 This kitchen began as a full rip-out with structural work, new flooring, lighting and a complete redesign.

We have now finished it with bespoke cabinetry, quartz worktops and new bi-fold doors opening the room to the garden.

The change in light, space and layout speaks for itself.

If you are thinking about upgrading your kitchen or planning a new renovation project, we’re happy to help!

We are so proud of you Jason Angus!

Say hello to Jason Angus, Healthcare Assistant in York Hospital's Paediatric Emergency Department 👋

🤔 Tell us about your role
I’m a Healthcare Assistant in the Paediatric Emergency Department at York Hospital – and unofficially, the Chief Morale Officer of the Trust! I try to spread kindness and positivity every shift – with a smile, a high five, a kind word, or on hot days, ice lollies.

I joined the NHS during the first lockdown after a long career in IT. It was a huge change, but easily the most enjoyable and rewarding role I’ve ever had.

🕓 How long have you worked at the Trust and why do you like it?
Four years in, I’m still learning every day. I try to make a positive difference – whether that’s supporting colleagues, calming anxious parents, or using simple magic tricks to distract and engage young patients.

If I can help parents relax, their children often do too. Small moments of connection really matter.

The NHS has supported me throughout my life, and I’ve always wanted to give something back. As a child, I was scared of hospitals – they usually meant I was being admitted. Now I do what I can to help children feel safe and happy, so they won’t be afraid if they need to come back.

💙 Are there any special moments that have stayed with you?
One moment I’ll never forget was with a teenager in crisis – frightened and overwhelmed. I sat with her and helped her make sense of what was happening. That moment of connection, of helping someone find hope, is what makes this job meaningful.

Another was helping a deaf child who used Sign Supported English. I learned BSL over 25 years ago and used what I remembered to support communication. His mum said it was one of the first times he felt truly included outside of home or school. It really stayed with me. I’d love to see BSL training offered so more deaf patients feel equally supported.

I also take extra care with autistic children and those with learning difficulties – using patience, clear communication and calm to help them feel safe.

I’ve received some lovely feedback through PALS, social media and Star Award nominations – but my favourites are handmade cards from the children themselves.

🧠 Who has inspired you along the way?
I was inspired to join the NHS after volunteering at a homeless kitchen with Clare Sherwood, Advanced Clinical Practitioner and one of the kindest and most genuine people I’ve ever met.

Senior Sisters Margaret Locker and Sharon Sleightholm have also had a huge impact. They supported me through a difficult time, and I’ll always be grateful for their kindness and encouragement.

The Emergency Department (adult and paediatric) is full of amazing humans. I’m proud to be a small cog in such a brilliant, hardworking team.
