Toby’s Friday Message

November 12, 2018

Each Friday, Chief Executive, Toby Lewis writes a message to all colleagues, which is published on the front page of Connect. He discusses important topics or events that have occurred during the past week and addresses future issues.

On Friday Toby spoke about the pride in working for an organisation that works had to conduct itself in an open, public and transparent manner. He also spoke about the delight in seeing Balfour Beatty on site at Midland Met restarting the development of the new hospital.

He also covered:

• The work we need to do locally to ensure we have what we need to sustain services, medicines, and the supply of equipment following brexit negotiations and the agreement at the board that both settlement and pre-settlement fees for EU nationals from our existing staff seeking to remain in this county would be borne by the Trust.
• The need for all clinical colleagues to ensure they have completed Basic Life Support training and the plans for roll out of Paediatric Life Support training in the new year.
• Confirmed that the Christmas decorating competition judging will take place on 21 December.
