All staff engagement sessions
Engagement sessions for all staff are being led by Mersey Care executives this week. They focus on the strategic vision for the new Trust; Mersey Care’s aspiration for a Restorative Just and Learning Culture; and a future joint collaboration between all staff from both trusts to define the values and behaviours that will guide how we work.
The final session is on Friday 23 April, 12noon-1.30pm. This is the link to join.
Recordings and the slides from the sessions are on StaffZone. Unfortunately, there is no recording of the first session due to a technical issue.

Culture survey
Tomorrow is the deadline for responses to the culture survey to support the transfer of staff and services.
The survey aims to understand any differences in ways of working between our Trust and Mersey Care and involves gauging staff opinion, feelings and expectations, as well as management processes, through surveys and interviews.
Please be completely honest to give a true picture of our Trust.

Explaining the transfer to patients, families and carers
We have produced a short animation to help explain the transfer of services to Mersey Care in a clear and straightforward way. It also aims to reassure patients and their families and carers that there will be no change to their care.
You can watch the video on our website: www.nwbh.nhs.uk/our-future Please feel free to share this with your patients.
