My first team brief

Today I had the exciting opportunity of hosting my very first Team Brief! Firstly, I would like to thank everyone who attended, it was a pleasure to welcome our new Interim Chief Nurse, Siobhan Jordan who started on the 10th April. It was great to meet more staff and discuss interesting topics such as the new anaesthetic rota system CLWRota going live and changes to breast screening services across South Staffordshire and the successes of Red2Green.

As you know, I am keen to engage with as many of you as possible so I would like to officially extend my invitation to team brief to everyone. I would love to hear from you all on how I can improve the meetings and give the opportunity for you to ask any questions. I was stunned by how quiet everyone was this morning so please this is your opportunity to not only hear from myself and my director team but ask questions, raise issues and make suggestions. If anyone does not feel able to do this in the open forum then please email your question into the communications team and we can answer it anonymously in the meeting. I will be publishing all the future dates shortly so keep a look out on the hub.

I am keen to continue meeting with you all to find out more about your areas and the services you deliver so I would encourage you to contact me directly to arrange a visit.

As you can see I also enjoy blogging and like to keep people informed of what I am out and about doing – let me know what you would like to see more of, what you find interesting and what not so I can adapt this as we go.
