#conversations
2017
#conversations is back! From
25th to 29th September we are encouraging staff,
patients and parents to talk to us about our services.
Communication matters, and it's important that everyone is
included in discussions which affect them. #conversations
encourages us to spend the week having conversations, big and
small, in different ways and with different people to explore our
shared vision of how we want our services to develop and how we can
work together to achieve this.
This year we are thinking about discharge and how we can work
together to make it better, launching our Partnership Charter which
we designed in last year's event and giving everyone the chance
to say a Big Thank You to anyone who has made a real
difference to their day.
Activities are taking place in main reception, outpatients areas
and across our wards and departments. Timetables will be
available on main reception so look out for them! We'll also be
posting on the hospital Facebook page so do join up if you're not
already a member.
The event is once again kindly supported by Above and
Beyond.
2016
In its first year #Conversations
ran from 14th to 23rd September and at the heart of the campaign
was an aspiration to change current thinking and embed a new way of
working in partnership.
47 staff and 40 volunteers gave their time to participate
in 57 separate activities all designed to engage children, young
people, families and staff in different ways including ward
roadshows, hospital based well being sessions, dolls dress up
sessions in play areas, reception events, job shadowing, and a fete
in the hospital garden. The event was launched by a music
video starring patients and staff, which reached 50,000 families on
Facebook.
