🎄 Christmas ads aren't just for department stores, watch ours and see how you can get yourself Winter Ready. This winter could be our busiest yet with already more than 125,000 attendances to our Emergency Department this year. Whilst we are working hard to ease that pressure, there are many things you can do to support us during this time by being Winter Ready. Watch our film to support us over this period. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gSDnpS9s

🎁 Donate a gift to someone staying in hospital this Christmas. We are seeking support from our community to help make sure that every patient in the hospital receives a gift on Christmas day. This makes a huge difference to people spending the Christmas period in hospital, who may not have family or friends visiting them. We are aiming to collect 900 presents as part of our Christmas Tree Gift Appeal. 👉 bit.ly/3ZOV9qo

❄️ Our Chief Operating Officer explains the many things we are doing to prepare for Winter during this busy time. We are asking you to support your local NHS by being Winter Ready - which means getting vaccinated, checking-in on the most vulnerable, stocking-up on medication, and registering for a GP. But it's only fair that we share what preparations we are making as a Trust to be Winter Ready.

She spends time with patients with learning disabilities on different wards, improving their experience in hospital. ‘The support I give is individual. What helps one person might not help someone else. ‘I have so many patients who I feel proud to support. I love meeting and getting to know all different people and their families every day.’ With more than 350 different careers available, discover your own role in the NHS, like Emily did.
