Trust AGM – Thursday, 29th September
Message from our Chair, Mark Yates
On Thursday 29th September we hold our Trust AGM which is an opportunity to summarise the performance of the organisation during the last financial year, 2021/22.
There has been lots of developments during this period, including multi-million pound projects to enhance mental health environments across Herefordshire and Worcestershire; the launch of new services supporting young people; and lots of great examples of innovation. These are really exciting, but there are also many more examples of our teams simply getting on with the job, and working together with our local partners to do the very best they can in often testing, pressured and challenging circumstances.
Working together is in our DNA; our Trust vision is ‘Working Together for Outstanding Care’ and there is very little we do as an organisation which isn’t in partnership with other groups and organisations. Our partnerships are widespread and while we work extremely closely with our statutory partners - GPs, the Acute Trusts and local authorities - we also deliver services alongside charities and community organisations which enhance the overall impact our services have on local people and communities.
Our AGM will feature more examples of integrated care and partnership working, with a presentation from our Urgent Community Response Team who work in the community alongside GPs and the ambulance service to reduce avoidable hospital admissions. The impact they are having is growing and this is of huge benefit to patients, families and our local system too.
If you would like to find out more about this, or the overall performance of the Trust, then please feel free to join our AGM. It is a virtual event running from 5:00pm - to register your interest please contact s.tallack@nhs.net.
