I hope everyone will join me in welcoming our new Ward Manager Annie to Crewkerne, Annie has been with us a few weeks now following a handover period with Katie, who is enjoying her new role at MPH and I’m quite sure is fantastic.

Annie joins us from Wincanton CH where she has been a deputy Ward Manager. Annie has quickly settled in and will not only be managing the ward, but also working with me overseeing the development of CCH and our incoming Services. Very exciting times and luckily Annie seems to have never ending energy & enthusiasm! Welcome to CCH 😃🏥

The new day room is slowly taking shape, again purely down to the efforts of all our teams, Michelle Purchase went shopping for paint and facilities team did the moving and SN Emma and Paul Tew (in his lunch break) did the painting. Temporary furniture at present, we are hoping our lovely League of Friends will help with new chairs and dining table and of course a TV! Thank you to you all 😃👍🏼

Work has also started on the new day room for our inpatient beds, this is going to be a larger room with both a lounge area and a dining area to encourage socializing and reducing deconditioning by getting our patients up and out of bed wherever possible. Again, thank you to our facilities , admin, estates and nursing teams for getting involved. SN Emma couldn’t wait to get her hands on a paint brush 🎨 👩‍⚕️👷‍♂️🧹

The old day room is nearing completion as a “group clinic” room. Looking so much better, just waiting on the blinds and a small desk. Dry run tomorrow for the first Symphony group 😊😊😃 this could not have been done without the help of our teams, all mucking in moving furniture out. Thank you 🙏

We have commenced our test & learn process and have reduced to 8 inpatient beds. Work is progressing to utilize this space to introduce new services for our community. Our first Symphony led clinic commences next Wednesday so we are currently moving the old day room to produce a relaxed comfortable space for group clinics. Thank you to the team this week for your help! Exciting times 😃

Today we say goodbye and good luck to Katie, our Ward Manager for nearly nine years. She is leaving us for some new adventures and we all wish her well. Katie has been a very valued member of the team, she has led with compassion and kindness and as a Matron I knew I could always rely on her. She will be missed 😊
