Toby’s Friday Message
October 21, 2019
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 week.
On Friday Toby encouraged colleagues to ensure they have completed all their mandatory training and reminded colleagues that training frequencies will be changing come the start of the new year.
He also covered:

And we contributed to a Society of Public Health award for our collaboration with the local authority to tackle alcohol related harm
- The planning applications for the new car parks at City and at Sandwell are due in very shortly
- The sad and unfortunate passing of Claire Millward, HCA – our thoughts go out to her friends and family
