Today for #StaffNetworksDay, we are thrilled to announce the launch of our new intersectional Staff Diversity Network, co-chaired by our Heads of Health Inequalities and Inclusion, Maureen and Angie. We look forward to its evolution and working to further improve our hospitals.
At 46% of NHS trusts, BME staff were over 1.25 times more likely than white staff to enter the formal disciplinary process, a modest improvement from 47% last year. #WRES#OurNHSPeople#NHSLTWP

The Trust is undertaking a review of our waiting lists. We have begun sending text messages and letters out to patients asking them if they still require treatment and would like to remain on our waiting list. This is a genuine communication, and not spam or a phishing message.
If you are the carer of a patient in hospital and need to spend more time with them, pick up one of our Carer Packs.
These contain a carer lanyard, a carer pass, information leaflets, and a feedback card. For more information please speak to a member of staff on the ward.
