Get ready for Unity with Favourite Fairs and the 28-day Challenge

April 29, 2019

With the launch of Favourite Fairs and the 28-Day Challenge, there will be lots of exciting Unity activity going on around the Trust today. We want to build on the momentum of a successful full dress rehearsal and our recent roadshows, which were well attended, to ensure everyone’s ready for when Unity goes live.

The distinctive green Unity t-shirts will be seen around the Trust today as two weeks of Favourite Fairs kick off at City and Sandwell Hospital. The fairs are the perfect opportunity to get Unity personalised to meet your needs. It will only take 20-40 minutes to set up your ‘favourites’ – the elements of Unity you will use most within your role.

If you will be using Unity as part of your role then it is essential to attend a Favourite Fair. They will be taking place from 7.30am to 4pm, 29 April to 11 May. For a full list of dates and locations, as well as information on what you can do in advance to prepare, please visit Connect.

The 28-Day Challenge is getting underway today too. It will see thousands of colleagues taking part in daily challenges to increase their familiarity with Unity in a fun and collaborative way. They won’t take long to complete and should help you to feel more comfortable and confident when using the system.

To help familiarise yourself with the layout of Unity, we have a Play System which you can access here. This is a safe place for you to explore Unity and practise using it.

It’s really important that you complete the relevant ‘Unity – It’s All About U’ checklist and assess your Unity knowledge at the start of the 28-Day Challenge. You can find the checklists on the Unity section of Connect. You will find other useful items there too, such as a glossary of terms, standard operating procedures and frequently asked questions.
