"We have lots of fantastic stories in this edition of Freepress," said RFL group chief executive Peter Landstrom, "including a great story about a ring found in a scrubs pocket by one of our staff which belongs to an NHS colleague over 100 miles away."

"It’s a brilliant story to begin 2024 and shows just how connected the NHS really is," Peter said.

"It’s fantastic to see how well ECG integration is going, which we have a story about on page 4, and with more people than ever taking on Dry January you can read about how the RFL is addressing binge drinking and alcohol consumption habits on page 5.

"This year we have many exciting new developments in the pipeline with our clinical, research and education strategies, and the many partnerships we have. With your help and support I am confident we will continue to bring the best of the NHS to all our patients."
