Team working at its best!

This is my first blog for a couple of months but I felt the need to write this today following the exceptional work demonstrated by the nursing professional development team with support from the recruitment team, communications team and the lead nurses and matrons.

I am talking about the first of the new nurse recruitment events that took place today. It was an overwhelming success for what was considered a trial event. The teams I have mentioned have been planning how to make these events successful for the last few weeks. Everyone was committed to working well together and it was really good to see their plans come together this morning.

I understand that we successfully offered nursing roles to 10 candidates. This included providing them an opportunity to visit their area of interest, have an interview and receive a conditional offer of employment.

This has been a great start to the campaign and I am really proud of everyone that contributed to making this successful. The next thing is to make the next event even more successful.

Well done everyone.
