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.

In order to respond to the ever changing NHS agenda and deliver the Trust’s clinical services strategy, we need to identify, develop and grow successful managers and leaders who are able to re-think how they and their teams work, challenge current practice, and think beyond their own local and professional interests to encourage innovation and improvements and effectively manage change which will make a difference to our patients and staff.
The Trust’s management and leadership development programmes provides a consistent approach to development for all staff in healthcare irrespective of discipline, role, function or seniority and represents the standard for leadership behaviours that all staff should aspire to both now and in the future.
