SMT Roundup – May
Here’s the top stories from this week’s SMT meeting
- A big thank you to all the staff and volunteers who organised and took part in the Forget Me not service last weekend. It was lovely to see so many families attend, especially after the challenges of the last few years
- As you may be aware, we’ve been looking at a number of options to expand the services we deliver including building a Well-Being Centre, we’re going to take the opportunity over the next few weeks to update you on plans – look out for Keep in Touch dates and if you can’t make any then please just ask either David, Lynn or Vanessa
- The annual Birdsong survey will be coming our way soon, this is our opportunity to celebrate our successes and compare how we are doing with other hospices across the country
- Thanks to all of you who have completed the fleet survey questionnaire, just to remind you that this will close on 28th May
- There has been no changes to any covid guidance for healthcare settings at this point but there are a couple of points as a polite reminder
- Face masks should be worn at all times with the exception of when you are sitting at a desk
- Masks should cover your mouth and nose
- We have a clean desk policy in place so all desks should be cleared at the end of your working day and cleaned with disinfectant spray
- LFT’s will continue twice weekly and ALL tests should be reported via the gov.uk site which is essential if we are to continue to receive free test kits
- The retail empire continues to expand and whilst we are disappointed that the shop in Bury has recently fallen through we are still looking for other suitable sites
And finally…..
- Whilst we’re not quite ready for a dress-up day we are going to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee with a Garden Party in the sensory garden on 30th May – more details to follow from the Play & Well-Being team but get your red, white or blue outfits dusted off and ready to wear. Thank you to the team for organising this for us
