[Media & Communications Team @HIOWH_NHSFT @comms_it]

We love working with the media - not only do they help us tell our story and raise awareness but they themselves learn something new about the NHS. But of course we couldn’t do any of this without the bravery of the people that use our services speaking about their experiences TY

[Hampshire and IOW Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust @HIOWH_NHSFT]

Who doesn’t like a video for conveying messages - but make them short and interesting - no one wants to be watching an epic trilogy!

[Sarah Reed ❤️ @sjreed]

Great to record podcasts - much easier way to truly hear the emotions in peoples’ voices and great for storytelling

[Hampshire and IOW Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust @HIOWH_NHSFT]

Chris openly discusses how the challenges his partner went through after the birth of their child affected his own mental health and the issues he experienced in seeking support.
