North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare NHS Trust held its Engagement@Combined event on 10 February at Port Vale Football Club.
The event welcomed a variety of local organisations, stakeholders and partners attending. Attendees offered valuable insights into what the trust is doing well and also offered areas to focus on over the next year.
The event covered a range of topics and speakers from Combined Healthcare. This included an introduction from Buki Adeyemo, Chief Executive, and a focus on the upcoming Quality Account and necessary planning related to it from Kenny Laing, Chief Nursing Officer. Zoe Grant, Deputy Chief Nurse, also gave an overview of the Patient, Carer Race Equality Framework (PCREF).
In the afternoon, there were seven round tables where partners, stakeholders and attendees could learn more about various areas of the trust and share their reflections. These included:
- Culture of Care – inpatient wards
- Specialist services – who are we?
- Community Transformation – including ADHD and autism pathway
- Partnership working – our Chief Strategy Officer
- Crisis care services
- Peer recovery/co-production
