On Friday, June 16, we will be joining in celebrations for #Red4Research Day.

This takes place every year.

It offers a chance to showcase and celebrate the phenomenal work and innovative treatments and techniques which have been created by research and development.  

#Red4Research also brings together all those taking part, supporting, and undertaking research on the front line and behind the scenes in the NHS.

To mark the event, landmarks across South Tyneside and Sunderland, will be lit up in red.

This will include South Tyneside District Hospital and Sunderland Royal Hospital.

We are also being supported by South Tyneside Council and Sunderland City Council.

The National Trust and Beacon of Light are also joining in.

Read our news story on this event.

The list of locations to be lit up are:

  • Town Hall, South Shields
  • The Northern Spire Bridge
  • Penshaw Monument
  • Hylton Castle
  • Fulwell Mill
  • Lighthouse at Seaburn
  • Keel Square
  • Beacon of Light


The Research Team is running a photography competition for colleagues.

The winner will be gifted a £25 Amazon voucher, with more details here. 

Entries can be posted on the staff Facebook page, emailed to stsft.research@nhs.net or you can copy in the team’s Twitter feed @RI_STSFT.

The winner will be announced on Tuesday, July 4, and their photo will feature in the summer newsletter by the team.

This Friday will also see the team on hand at the restaurants at Sunderland Royal Hospital and South Tyneside District Hospital.

They will host information stalls from 11.30am to 1.30pm.

To mark the day, the team will be dressed in red.

The stalls will also have lots of red-themed treats and goodies on offer.

There will also be a chance to take a selfie to help promote the day.

A conference to recognise the day with colleagues had been planned for Friday, but the celebrations have been updated due to the BMA Junior Doctor strike.
