The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SaTH) will hold its first ever quality and diversity event tomorrow (6 December).

The event will take place at Shrewsbury Town Football Club from 9am until 4.30pm and will include guest speakers from across the Trust.

This engagement event will help the Trust work closely with stakeholders to focus on what matters to people in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin and Mid Wales.

Ruth Smith, Lead for Patient Experience, said: “All participants will have an opportunity to express their views in groups on the topics presented and written comments will also be recorded.

“The information gathered will be used to develop improvement plans and support the Trust in identifying priorities to address inequalities of access, care and outcomes, ensuring that everyone is treated with dignity and respect.”

‘’The Trust is committed to addressing health inequalities and values the opportunity to work with patients, carers, stakeholders, voluntary organisations and staff to improve services.

“Ensuring the needs and priorities of the local community are clearly identified and addressed to enable us to deliver safe and kind care.’’
