NHS STAFF BRIEFINGS AT CLARENDON & COLEMAN WARDS, EVINGTON CENTRE


At the Evington Centre, Leicester General Hospital this afternoon, promoting the NHS Staff Multi-Faith Resource that Leicester Council of Faiths has helped produce for Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust (LPT).

I'm here with Abida Hussain, Equalities and Human Rights Officer in LPT's Integrated Equality Service, as we continue the process of briefing members of LPT staff most likely to use this resource.

We’re here specifically to meet staff on Clarendon Ward and Coleman Ward, our visits timed to coincide with briefing points when handing over shifts, so we can speak to both incoming and outgoing staff members.

The Evington Centre provides care to older people with long term mental health needs. Clarendon Ward has historically served people in the county, while Coleman Ward has performed the same function for people in the city.

We have further visits to this venue scheduled for later in the week, but other wards have been closed to visitors because of an outbreak of D&V (figure it out, faithful reader). So we'll need to check if those visits can still go ahead on the day.
