If you've had experience of using our services and would like to make a comment then please contact the Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS). Your views are very important to us and we would like to hear where you think improvements are needed or where things have gone so well that you would like to share your thanks or gratitude with the staff involved. When things have not gone so well then you can be sure that we want to hear from you, so please get in touch with PALS.
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.
We welcome and value your feedback and use the views you share with us in a number of ways to learn and make improvements as well as sharing best practice. Feedback can be provided in a number of ways.

It has been a busy and challenging week for us all. The autumnal weather, reminding us that winter is on its way, coincided with a surge in demand on our urgent care pathway. This placed even greater pressure on many departments across the Trust and many of you.

It has been another busy week for us all. We held out Annual General Meeting on Thursday and whilst AGMs are all about reporting and reflecting on the previous year, I was pleased to be able to share my vision of the Trust for the next six months.

I have been in the Trust for five weeks now and today is my 33rd day of my first 100 days in post. I continue to enjoy meeting staff and listening to the things that are going well, and the areas we need to improve. There has been a great sense of energy within all of our discussion groups and I thank those who attended and contributed to the discussion. In my weekly message this week, I have taken the opportunity to highlight some areas of best practice.

You will be aware that the Care Quality Commission (CQC) published their report into emergency, urgent and medical services at Queen Alexandra Hospital yesterday. It has created much debate on social media channels within our community and much discussion within our teams. I am grateful for the continuing support of our public and patients, while we continue to deliver improvements to patient care and experience.

I have been Chief Executive of this Trust for four weeks now and this week was always going to be challenging. Our CQC report into emergency services and medical care made for very tough reading yesterday, when the CQC published it. I was ready for difficult conversations with colleagues, key partners and, of course, the media.
