Follow our X account @RoyalFreeNHS to see what our patients and staff are saying about us Hello and Peter Landstrom Group chief executive welcome to the January/February edition of our staff, members and governors’ magazine. Firstly, I want to recognise the hard work put in for the latest period of industrial action at the beginning of January. You are all incredible and I would like to thank everyone involved in the enormous planning and preparation efforts. While this prolonged period of strike action has had a significant cumulative impact on our activity, waiting lists and patients, I also recognise the impact it has on staff. I encourage you to use our health and wellbeing resources which are signposted on Freenet should you need them. I am delighted to see we are marking the one- year anniversary of The Freedom from Racism at the Free programme (page 8) and hearing from some of our WITH:STAND graduates. I hope you will all take the time to read about this event and learn about our plans to counter discrimination, break down barriers and embrace equality. It is fantastic to see how well electrocardiogram integration is going so far (page 4) and what that is delivering for staff and patients. I look forward to its continued roll out and the difference it will make. Looking to the year ahead, we have many exciting new developments coming. Whether that be through the launch of clinical, research or education strategies, or furthering our many partnerships, with your help and support, I am confident we will continue to bring the best of the NHS to all our patients.
