Follow our X account @RoyalFreeNHS to see what our patients and staff are saying about us Peter Landstrom Group chief executive to the September/October edition of our bi-monthly staff, members and governors magazine. I want to begin by reflecting on the horrifying scenes of public disorder that took place across the country in August. It was shocking, upsetting and totally unacceptable. I want to reassure you that I, and all the members of the trust’s executive teams, stand in solidarity with our diverse workforce and the wider community. We are united against racial hatred and as an organisation we are determined to tackle it in all its forms. This summer the trust boards of the RFL and North Mid approved the business case for the merger of our two organisations. It is a very exciting time to be part of the trust, and coming together as one will allow us to provide better and faster care for our populations. We have a full look at the merger on pages 4 and 5, where you can read about some of the areas where the merger will bring improvements. The NHS staff survey is now sitting in your inbox, and if you have not already completed it I encourage you to do so. It takes just 15 minutes and allows you to share your views on working at the RFL in a confidential manner. Last year record numbers of staff completed the survey and we really want to beat that this year. I continue to be so impressed at the incredible things going on across our hospitals which you can read about in this edition. I couldn’t be prouder to be a part of this organisation.
