LIVING OUR Our values are ‘the way we do things around here’. They are the very core of who we are, for every colleague, patient and individual who comes into contact with us. Our values enable us to work together more effectively and to deliver great patient care more consistently. We see examples of our values in practice on a daily basis, and each month we will celebrate individuals or teams who are clearly caring, fair and innovative.
Comforting our patients Our volunteers Rose McShaneGriffiths and Rita Mathews have been hard at work creating crochet blankets to provide comfort to our patients in their final weeks. They donated the blankets, along with small lavender scented hearts, stars and birds, to our Palliative Care Team. The team, including Kate and Sam (pictured) are always grateful for donations like this and are looking for more blankets, small organza bags or lock of hair pouches. If you can help or you know a knitting group, contact the Palliative Care Team.
Helping young people build skills We recently held an open day for our third cohort of the Project Search programme, which will begin in September. This programme is to support young people with learning difficulties, to build their skills and confidence ready for employment. If you can support a work placement in your team from September onwards or want more details, contact Annette.Pollitt@liverpoolft.nhs.uk.
