Follow our X account @RoyalFreeNHS to see what our patients and staff are saying about us Peter Landstrom Group chief executive to the July/August edition of Freepress, our bi-monthly staff, members and governors’ magazine. Every year staff across the trust take time out from our busy schedules to recognise the achievements of colleagues at the RFL Oscars. We’ve celebrated your incredible contributions at local site events, and recently held our overall group awards, which you can read all about on pages 4 and 5. I want to take this opportunity to recognise once again everyone who was nominated or won an award this year. It’s a privilege to shine a light on your work and I hope that you all enjoyed the celebrations. It’s been almost two months since the launch of our clinical strategy, with work ongoing every day to bring it to life. This edition includes more stories about what this means for our patients, such as quicker access to diagnostic scans thanks to new training for radiographers and a new vaccine that protects against urine infections for kidney transplant patients. These are just two stories showing how everyone has a part to play in providing the best patient care. I’m delighted that the chaplaincy-spiritual care team are featured in our meet the team story on pages 6 and 7. They play an invaluable role in caring for patients regardless of their beliefs, while supporting staff through sometimes difficult situations. Have a read of it, as it is a great example of work that takes place in the NHS which can go unnoticed but is so important. Thank you for all of your ongoing work. Remember to look out for one another and I hope you can find some time for a well-earned rest over the summer.
