Celebrating our diverse team
We’ve banded together to celebrate our colleagues from Europe and across the world.
Steve Russell, Deputy Chief Executive, made a sign which read: ‘Proud to be part of the great NHS team of British, European and international staff, #PRIDE’ which was passed among colleagues across several of our wards and departments.
There was huge support among staff to recognise and value their colleagues – and their pictures with the sign dominated our Twitter feed.
Steve said: “I felt it was really important to recognise our diverse workforce and the contribution everyone makes to patient care at both our hospitals.
“We value the commitment of all our staff, from across the globe who provide the highest quality of care possible to our community as part of one big team. I think the huge reaction we’ve had to this demonstrates what a strong and united team we have.”
