Welcome

Welcome to our monthly Humber Happenings Newsletter!

We enjoy letting you know about the latest news from our teams, as well as making you aware of some of the more important information and our upcoming campaigns and awareness dates.

This month, we're celebrating excellence within the Trust as five of our Trust staff take part in the King's Coronation as part of the Hull NHS choir.

We would like to congratulate all involved in the NHS Choir on this amazing achievement of being involved in King Charles III's coronation. The Coronation Choir shared the billing with British pop group Take That, international superstar Lionel Richie, global pop icon Katy Perry, and international opera star Andrea Bocelli, among others.

You'll read about the opportunity to become a Patient Safety Partner. You can use your voice to constructively influence decisions that will drive the Trust’s ambition forward and be central to shaping our safety agenda.

We hope you to enjoy our newsletter. If you have any comments, ideas for articles, or if you'd like to contribute to future editions, please email hnf-tr.communications@nhs.net.

Thank you,
Michele Moran, Chief Executive

The final 300-strong choir included members of Hull NHS Choir plus many others, such as London Cabbies, an all-deaf sign performance group and an LGBTQ+ choir.

The NHS Rainbow Badge had its official launch in 2018 and since then over 150 Trusts across England have launched NHS Rainbow Badges.

We want to find out what patients’ experiences with trust staff has been like in terms of LGBT+ inclusivity (e.g. has staff introduced their pronouns, has a patient’s gender/sexual orientation been asked for or assumed etc)

The survey will help us determine if patients have encountered or witnessed any transphobic/homophobic/biphobic behaviour or language within the trust and what the reporting process has been like.

We were delighted to welcome NHS Providers' Julian Hartley to Trust HQ April 21st to find out more about our services.

The Intensive Support Pathway (ISP) is intended to provide high intensity and targeted support to young and vulnerable new mothers who require a higher level of intervention than the Healthy Child Programme Specialist level.
