What have the trade unions ever done for us?

We are working with the Trust's communications department to look at engaging with you, and we are considering:

  • regular Microsoft Teams conference calls
  • a message board
  • broadcasts and potentially podcasts in the future
  • engaging with you in early policy development key decision making
  • more regular updates and two-way communication

We want to know what works for you, so please feel free to get in touch with us to offer your ideas and feedback. Contact details for the Trust's trade union contacts can be found below.
