SMT Roundup – June
SMT Roundup
- CQC have confirmed that since our 2019 inspection they are happy with everything we’ve all been doing based from the data and feedback they have received and therefore do not feel the need to inspect at the moment.
- Some postponed training modules are picking back up soon including Fire Marshal training and First Aid. Luke will be rolling those out in the coming months.
- EMIS – we have a strong internal roadmap in development to ensure all staff are both confident and competent with the system. We are currently ensuring our super users are happy with various aspects of the system before we commence with further actions.
- Derian Day (Friday 1st October) – This is the first annual fundraising event ‘Derian Day’, think Macmillan tea morning ……. But bigger. We can’t wait to have our shops and Hospice staff and volunteers involved!
- The Big House Giveaway – If you haven’t heard already, we’re giving away a Kingswood Homes house in Blackburn! The campaign will be over a year whilst the house is built and goes live on the 3rd August 2021.
- National Garden Scheme Open Day – we are planning our second NGS open day on the 8th of August.
- Blackburn Shop opens on Monday (19th July 2021) with a press launch scheduled for the next day. Good luck to all the new Blackburn team.
- COVID – what changes are coming?
- As an SMT we decided that we will maintain mask wearing rules as they currently stand.
- We will be reviewing visitor guidance to allow professional visits (CCG,NHSE etc.) and some Non-professional visits (Corporate and community donors and interested parties in recruiting roles).
- Following the confirmation of isolation guidance, from the 16th August we will be reviewing how we manage COVID absence within the absence management procedures and the remuneration framework for isolation periods. More details will follow closer to the announcements for August.
- Please remember that guidance is changing regularly so we may adjust our plans in line with new advice.
