Your views make a difference It has been a busy start to the year, with a number of communications and engagement activities launched. Designs for the new hospital continue to develop and we’ve held staff and public virtual briefings to capture your thoughts on the design of the new hospital welcome space. These events have marked the start of the rollout of our engagement plan and we have been overwhelmed with the positive response they have received so far. We have more exciting engagement opportunities to come, and we look forward to you continuing to join in and have your say. Public events First impressions count, and our inaugural new hospital public events focused on the welcome experience in the new hospital. Our architects shared some of the concepts for how the spaces might look and feel, what amenities might be available and how technology could be used.
There were also some great suggestions of other things you’d like to see in the space to welcome you in.
