Thinking about the beautiful man @DraycottPaul , on his last day @Southern_NHSFT ; about how important he’s been in making our Trust a better place over the last 5 years; about how big and generous his heart is; about how much I will miss him. Thanks Paul, and farewell ❤️

Great recognition for our new Staff Portal from the @NHSCommunicate Awards, well done to the team, it’s brilliant to get a shortlist in such a strong field!

We have been shortlisted for an NHS Communicate Award @NHSCommunicate for our staff portal - special mention for Paula Quigley @DonelanAmy who worked so hard to design this excellent staff resource, implementing single sign on and ensuring it was user friendly @Southern_NHSFT

If you didn't get the GCSE results you wanted today, that can be tough. But results aren't everything. And there's so much more to you than those letters on a page. Make sure you remind yourself of all the great things that make you you. #GCSEResults2022

[YoungMinds @YoungMindsUK]

For anyone getting GCSE results today. #GCSEResults2022

Nice work by @sjreed , @comms_it colleagues and partners to help shine a light on this great collaboration between @Southern_NHSFT @HHFTnhs @SCAS999 clinicians helping to support people at home and prevent hospital admissions.

And we’ve got @AlastairFeeBBC @BBCSouthNews with us today interviewing our staff and patients about how the falls and frailty car and the urgent community response teams work together to deliver joined up care for our patients of which 80% are able to stay at home and avoid ED

New Staff Intranet is live! Single sign-on and designed to be much easier for staff to navigate and find the information they need. Huge thanks and well done @comms_it and especially Paula for leading the project and delivering on time despite a certain pandemic! ✨✨✨

[Tom Westbury (he/him) @TomDoesComms]

Team did a great job here, lots of work over many months. Special thanks to Paula who led, and to the clinicians involved, for helping to shed light on the important work they do to prevent stalking behaviours and help keep people safe.

[Media & Communications Team @HIOWH_NHSFT @comms_it]

Great to see our innovative MASP stalking prevention service featured in new Stacey Dooley BBC documentary. We coordinated the Trust’s involvement, working with production team and clinicians from early convos to promoting the broadcast. Watch here: https://t.co/yO8i0FQ6JQ
