We can exclusively reveal that in Year One:

  • Nurses are the best CHFT "newhounds" in the Trust
  • Matron stories are always well-read. Beware matrons!

We're delighted to receive these birthday greetings... 

 

  • CEO Owen Williams -  “Happy Birthday – you’re doing a great job. Love it”

 

  • Assistant director of nursing, Tracy Fennell -  " CHFT Weekly contacted my previous Trust and ran a story about my appointment. So when I started everyone knew me before I knew anyone and, as a result, I received a really, lovely welcome from right across the Trust."

 

  • Workforce Benefits Manager Laurie Beckett - “Last summer when we ran a story about our Work Together Get Results page, the number of people who visited our pages shot up. This shows colleagues are reading the articles and looking for more."

 

  • Facilities manager, Jason Bushby - "CHFT weekly has brought exposure and recognition to some of the support services which we didn't have before.  It definitely has bought cleaning services out of the broom cupboard!"

 

  • Assistant director of quality Juliette Cosgrove  -  " I love CHFT Weekly every Thursday. It’s really improved over the past months and gets better and better. I look out for it each week now as there is so much good news in it."

 

  • Director of Estates, Lesley Hill -  " CHFT Weekly has really helped to promote the work that goes on behind the scenes in Estates and Facilities. Most importantly it shows the rest of the  organisation our fantastic teams working together - and getting results!
