This is my final blog as Interim Chief Executive, and the timing feels right on so many fronts.
As the summer draws to a close and the nights start to draw in, I have naturally been reflecting on the past eight months. I’m going to keep it short and sweet because there are so many things I could say, but the most important thing is to say thank you to you all.
#TeamUHDB have amazed me this week by pulling together to support one of our own. Maggie Fearon, who works in the breast unit at RDH and QHB, has led a campaign to encourage colleagues to sign up to the DKMS register to become a stem cell donor and save a life.
Dear all,
This week has been an emotional one for me personally, and I want to be open with you about how I’ve been feeling, and to share some reflections about the huge impact you have on the lives of our patients, and communities.
This blog is intentionally shorter than normal because I’d like you all to use the five minutes you’d normally spend reading this, to instead nominate a colleague for a Making a Difference Award. Exceptional things happen every day inside our hospitals, and we want to hear about it so we can reward and recognise our colleagues. This year, the annual event is back as an in-person awards ceremony for the first time since 2019
This week’s blog is all about inspiration, so buckle in! If I started the blog on the story of someone ‘from humble beginnings in Whitby to wide-spread acclaim’ you’d be thinking I’m slightly over egging my UHDB career
