FAMILIES suffering from pregnancy or baby loss can now access personalised counselling support thanks to a new hospital initiative on Teesside. 

A Middlesbrough Council employee who narrowly escaped death due to his smoking habit has been chosen as the face of a regional campaign to help others quit. 

A GROUP of Teesside researchers who are helping patients to return to work following hip or knee replacement surgery have achieved a national milestone. 

South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is inviting local communities to remember their loved ones this festive season by dedicating a memorial bauble on Christmas trees at Friarage Hospital and The James Cook University Hospital.
