• Shared leadership development, including anew opportunity for people within bothorganisations to exchange roles and spend a'week in the life of'.

February 2013 saw the official opening ofForest Hospital in Mansfield. Mike Cooke andMike Parsons opened the 50 bed flagshipfacility for people under the age of 65 withworking age dementia, alcohol related braininjury and Huntingtons Disease.

Konica Minolta East: working in partnershipto deliver cost efficientprint solutionsKonica Minolta East has beenproviding print, copy and scanningcapable devices to NottinghamshireHealthcare for many years and ourrelationship with the Trust hasalways been based on a partnershipas opposed to that of just a supplierand customer.

During the last 12 months, KonicaMinolta has been assisting theTrust to realise the potential of itsPrint Strategy – a project whichaims to provide the Trust’sworkforce with a modern,managed, reliable, cost efficientand right sized print, copy andscan fleet.

Alongside the Trust’s I.Tdepartment and its PrintRelationship Manager,Dominick Ferguson, Konicahas deployed a new fleet ofprint equipment andattendant print managementtechnologies at DuncanMacmillan House, MillbrookMental Health Unit, ArnoldLodge and Rampton Hospital.Staff at these sites now benefitfrom a centrally controlledprint solution, enablingthem to print from anydevice using a personalelectronic print card.

Beth Mobbs-White, CPAAdministrator at DuncanMacmillan House said: “Myrole requires me to do a lot of printingand the system is always reliable. It isparticularly convenient that I can scan,print and copy from a number ofprinters in the Trust.”

As ever we look forward to continuingour commitment to supportNottinghamshire Healthcare in theforthcoming year. The year ahead forus as the Trust’s print partner will be

an exciting one. We look forward toworking with the Trust to supportplanning and wider deployments ofthese technologies. It is envisaged thatthe next 12 months will be spentassisting the Trust to grow and developits print strategy to support the everchanging needs of its staff. This willultimately deliver a more modern and

robust fleet of printequipment for staff, whilstmaking significant savingsfor the Trust.

Finally, we would like to thank all Truststaff for their support and patienceduring the rollout of these printerswithout which it would not have beensuch a success.
