Second day of Unity Favourite Fairs – make sure you come along

April 30, 2019

Favourite Fairs got underway at City and Sandwell yesterday, and saw colleagues set up their favourites so they’re ready for when Unity goes live. The events continue at City and Rowley Regis today, and have already got off to a flying start.

Be sure to check out the video by Liam Kennedy, Deputy Chief Operating Officer and Ash Sharma, Chief Clinical Informatics Officer talking about the importance of attending the Favourite Fairs.

If you will use Unity as part of your role it is essential to attend a Favourite Fair to ensure that you have access to the system and personalise it to meet your needs. Spend 20-40 minutes setting up your ‘favourites’ – the tests, medications or processes most commonly used in your role. Please take the time to complete a preparation sheet prior to attending:

• Doctors/CNS/CNP/Nurses/Midwives
• Therapies

Setting up your favourites isn’t difficult to do and it will help make the transition to Unity as smooth as possible. At the Favourite Fairs, members of the Unity team will be on hand to help you if you get stuck. There will also be guides and a checklist available to support you.

Favourite Fairs will be taking place from 7.30am to 4pm, through to 11 May. The full schedule is as follows:
