A look back at National Healthcare Estates and Facilities Day

Wednesday 19 June was National Healthcare Estates and Facilities Day – a time to recognise the role of the E&F workforce, reflect on the vital work carried out by these professionals, and the value this gives to our patients and staff.

Our amazing unsung heroes in Estates and Facilities work tirelessly to keep all our services running smoothly, 24/7, 365 days a year – every colleague plays a vital role. National Healthcare Estates and Facilities Day is an opportunity to shine a spotlight on our amazing E&F colleagues and celebrate all they do.

Members of our Estates and Facilities (E&F) Senior Management team, our Trust Chief Executive Douglas Blair, Trust Chair Graham Russell and other colleagues were out and about visiting sites across the Trust to say a big ‘thank you’ to our incredible E&F colleagues, as well has hand out our new Estates and Facilities Team notebooks, pens and trolley coins as a small token of our huge appreciation for the amazing job they do. They truly are the hidden heroes of the NHS!

Decontamination Lead Sam Lonnen also recorded this brief video message in which he thanks all our unsung E&F heroes for everything they do, every day.
