2017
Our 2017 #conversations initiative ran from
25th to the 29th of September. We
encouraged staff, patients and parents to talk to us about our
services. Here are some of our photos from 2017:
We think continuing communication is important and part of this
process is including everyone in the discussions that affect them.
The 2017 #conversations week encouraged us to spend the time having
conversations, big and small, and with different people who are
invested in our shared vision. This all contributes to how we want
our services to develop and how we can all work together to achieve
this.
We focused on discharge and how we can work to make it better.
In 2016 we designed our Partnership Charter and this was launched
during #conversations in 2017. We also gave everyone the chance to
say a Big Thank You to anyone who made a real difference to their
hospital visit.
The week was 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.
Well done to all the wards and departments in the children's
hospital who got involved with #conversations in 2016 by fancy
