Process for booking space for stands across the Trust

November 22, 2021

Colleagues should be reminded that we have an approval process for ALL exhibition and manned stands in public areas across the Trust. If you wish to book a space for a stand you must email audrey.hender@nhs.net to check that your requirements can be accommodated safely with respect to social distancing. Unfortunately we had a situation recently whereby a number of stands were crowded into a small space creating a potential hazard, by encouraging footfall to slow and create a crowd which was physically unable to adequately socially distance.

Whilst our safety rules remain in place, it is doubly important we ensure our public thoroughfares remain clear with only essential stands staffed, and that crowds are not encouraged to linger. It is unlikely that external suppliers or companies will be approved to come into our hospital sites for marketing purposes whilst COVID restrictions remain.
