This week’s edition includes lots of great news and updates from across the Trust.
COVID 19 update
Communicating with you all in a timely and accessible way has never been more important in my eyes. When you have 8,000 colleagues working in different locations and shift patterns and groups of people that don’t have regular access to a computer, it can be tricky!
UHMBT Estates team excels in fight against COVID-19
