Messages for loved ones and keeping in touch

We recognise the impact that a long stay in hospital can have on families and the importance of maintaining strong communication.  Our ward staff are keeping in touch with patients’ next of kin directly and our Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) can help pass on personal messages from family and friends.

During your stay in hospital you will meet a number of different members of staff.  All members of staff wear name badges, but if you are not sure who someone is or what they do, please feel free to ask them to introduce themselves and explain what they do. 

If you have any questions about your treatment, please ask a doctor or a nurse.

There are lots of opportunities for you to get involved with the Trust, from volunteering to attending our public meetings, our Annual General Meeting or our hospital open day which is held every year.

Race Equality Network

Last updated: 02 August 2022

Race Equality 2

At Portsmouth, we are proud to have a recognised Race Equality Network which is open to all black and minority ethnic staff and allies.

The aim of the network is to provide a forum for staff to:

  • talk confidentially about their work experiences in a safe environment
  • receive support and information
  • identify and respond to matters that affect black and minority ethnic staff
  • contribute to improving the work experience of black and minority ethnic colleagues
  • undertake personal and professional development
  • work with the Trust to eliminate discrimination experienced by black and minority ethnic staff and to promote general equality of opportunity
  • influence policy making and monitor existing policies to ensure that the equality perspective is proactively considered
