Hi everyone, hope that you’re all well and looking forward to the weekend – even if you’re working it 🙂

 

Shorter update today…   here you go….

 

1. It’s here…. The Blockbuster that you’ve all been waiting for…. our new Recruitment video starring YOU and our amazing youngsters…. Watch it here……  https://vimeo.com/903698892/b2826dc40f thanks everyone – its brilliant ! Hopefully we’ll attract great people to join our fabulous team.
2. What a week weather wise – absolutely freezing, thanks for braving the cold, frost snow and ice this week and making sure our services continue, next week is looking much milder.
3. This week the LMT ( Leadership & Management Team) agreed that all Risk Assessments from across the organisation should be stored and accessed via the Q Drive.  If you can’t find something please ask.  Only Policies will be locatable on the intranet going forward.
4. Have you noticed new notice boards ?  We’ve added two boards in the hospice, one id the Diner and the other in reception.  These notice board are to keep everyone (including visitors and parents) up to date with the changes in CQC over the coming months and the Quality Statements that all of us are working in line with.  Our Quality & Gov Team will keep the boards up to date and relevant.
5. We’ve got a busy year ahead of us and are driving transformation across many areas of our work and therefore we’ve suggested that the Trustees might want to meet a little more regularly to help keep on track and ensure they are fully assured of our progress.  Trustee meetings are likely to move from quarterly to bi-monthly and the four sub groups, QSI, HR, Finance and Audit/Risk are likely to meet more often also.  It’s great to have the trustees on site more and visible, as this enables them to be fully assured on the work that we all do.

 

And finally…. A big Happy Birthday shout out for this week to Illyas Mulla, who works in our Preston shop… Happy Birthday!
