In this edition, we have lots of stories including a look at our staff survey results, the tenth anniversary of the LGBTQ+ and friends staff network and a new eye surgery hub at Edgware Community Hospital.
Introducing this edition Peter Landstrom, RFL group chief executive, said:
"I’m delighted to be able to share with you the positive progress we have made in our NHS staff survey results."
"We have made improvements across every key area, thank you to the record number of you who shared your experiences and insights. We want to make the Royal Free London the best place to work, and of course there are always areas in which we can improve, with work already ongoing to address this. Read the results on page 5.
"I was lucky enough to attend the celebrations for the tenth anniversary of the LGBTQ+ and friends staff network which has made our magazine’s front cover. It was fantastic to see so many colleagues in attendance.
"It is so good to hear how the new planned eye surgery hub at Edgware Community Hospital is already enabling us to see more patients and reduce waiting times. Key to its success is the excellent relationship built with primary care and I commend all the efforts to embed the hub within our local communities.
"I have visited various departments in recent months, including staff at Enfield Civic Centre, some of whom are featured in this issue’s ‘meet the team’. All the staff there do extraordinary work to keep services running, and it was great to meet so many of you on my visit."
