60 second interview: Sally Smith, domestic

I joined the hospital roughly 20 years ago.

What is your job title?

When I first joined PAHT, I worked within the domestics team on Penn Ward – I now work as a domestic in the catering facilities department.

Can you outline your roles?

My role is to ensure that the kitchen facilities are clean and hygienic for everyday use, ready to prepare the freshly cooked meals for our patients and people.

When did you join PAHT?

I also assist with the ordering of patient meals and keep patient nutrition records updated.

How did you get into it?

PAHT is my local hospital, so this location and role is perfect for me.

What is the most challenging part of your role?

I take huge pride in my work – sometimes there just aren’t enough hours in the day to complete all tasks.

What is the most satisfying aspect of yourrole?

The most satisfying aspect of my role is knowing that I have made a real difference to our patients’ experience and they are happy when leaving the hospital.

Can you describe stand-out moments in your team?

days of life, married their partner at the bedside. It was a wonderful moment and meant so much to the patient and their family.

Another stand out moment for me was when the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson came to Penn Ward on his recent visit to PAHT and took time to speak with the whole team – it certainly wasn’t a usual day on the ward!

What do you do in your spare time?

In my spare time I enjoy gardening and looking after my grandchildren.

One thing we don’t know about you?

I’m a very family orientated person and I’m also a qualified hairdresser.

What would you do if there was a data breach or cyber attack?

Secure your accounts

Try and contain any damage

If you have made a mistake, think about what you can do to fix the problem and prevent it from happening again. For example, if you have emailed the wrong recipient, you can ask the recipient to double delete the email and provide confirmation that the information has been removed. You could then share what has happened and the actions you have taken to avoid it happening to others in your team. From offline to online, keep I.T. confidential.
