A new source of energy
Barking Havering and RebridgeUniversity Hospital – Patient Champion In light of negative press in the
organisation Ashley saw Change Day as
a chance to do something positive.
“People had huge pressures to deliver on things that
were much bigger than change day.”
Ashley's experience is about offering
people a choice to work together in the
face of big challenges, particularly those
that we share relationships with.
Our main Trust wide pledge for NHS Change day in 2013 Guardian Service – Informal way of raising concerns
Pitch to the board
“Would a member of NHS staff use a trulyindependent service where you can raise aconcern, issue or problem about anythingpertaining to your role, colleagues or workplace in complete confidentiality andanonymity?”
A service that created a safe environment foryou to come and just have a conversation.“

In general terms, the more positive the experiences of staff within an NHS trust, the better the outcomes for that trust.
The more engaged staff members are, the better the outcomes for patients and the organisation generally.
