Thank you to Krisi Ashton for all her help and support with the Better Health at Work campaigns.

During our latest campaign, staff were offered mini health checks and took part in a sleep event, providing them with hints and tips on how to improve their sleep and why sleep is important for their health and wellbeing 😊

We acheived the Bronze award in February 2025, and wanted to achieve the Silver award however, due to time lapse we have restarted the award and officially acheived the Foundation award yesterday 🙌

We understand that our patients are sometimes unsure where to wait to be seen by the clinician and often ask our reception team for support.

To help with this, we now have a QView display on our TV screens.

When you check in using the self-check-in screen, you will be given an anonymous number. You will see this number displayed on the TV screen, so you can see where you are in the queue to see the clinician.
