Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust - Freepress Mar Apr 25

Follow our X account @RoyalFreeNHS to see what our patients and staff are saying about us Peter Landstrom Group chief executive to the March/April edition of our staff, members and governors’ magazine. I’m delighted so many of you took the opportunity to share what it’s like to work at the Royal Free London in the NHS staff survey. Our participation rate was well above the national average, which helps provide a real insight into what we’re doing well and what we can do better. Thank you to everyone who took the time to complete the survey. The results show continued improvement across several key areas, which is great to see, as well as areas we can do more. See the results on page 5. I recently attended the official opening of the refurbished urgent treatment centre (UTC) at Barnet Hospital. It was fantastic to see the centre open after months of redevelopment and we know the reconfiguration is already having an impact, improving patient flow and reducing waiting times for our patients. Read the full story on page 10. Community care is vital in helping our hospitals work efficiently and ensuring patients receive treatment in the best place for them. On pages 6 and 7, the work of one of our district nursing teams, who deliver care to patients in their own homes, is highlighted in the latest ‘Meet the team’. Physiotherapists at Chase Farm Hospital also hosted their first community appointment day in Enfield. This is another example showcasing how our incredible staff are providing exceptional care for our patients outside of a traditional hospital setting and the benefits that can bring, so please do take a look on page 9. Thank you again for your commitment and dedication in the face of what proved a very challenging winter. I do hope you manage to enjoy the start of spring and please take care of yourselves.
