Great participation rate for the Life at LUHFT conversation!

As a Trust, we are on a journey to making LUHFT the best place to learn, work and deliver excellent patient care. To begin this journey of improvement, we introduced the Life at LUHFT Let’s Talk conversation in January, an online platform that was inundated with constructive feedback and valuable talking points from over 1500 colleagues. We can now take this forward and begin to make important changes to our culture, as suggested by you.

The Let’s Talk conversation was not the first of its kind to be used at LUHFT. Previous feedback made it clear that to increase overall participation and to provide a fairer representation of colleagues that wouldn’t traditionally have access to electronic devices, we’d need to ensure a paperbased alternative was readily available. It was important that everyone had the opportunity to voice how it feels to work as part of #teamLUHFT.

Jenna Murray, a Culture Change Team member provided a voice for the Pharmacy department by printing paper copies for her team to submit their suggestions as well as being on hand to answer questions as the conversation progressed. She showed great determination to provide a voice for a department that might have not taken part otherwise and has demonstrated a great initiative that we can take forward for future activity.

Thank you to everyone that participated in the Life at LUHFT conversation – you have helped us understand the changes needed to make our organisation a place where we all feel valued and included.
