Colleagues on Hope unit have shared more warm words of wisdom for #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek, on the theme of ‘know yourself, grow yourself.’

Have our mental health support teams been at your child's school for #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek or #TimeToTalkDay?

It’s been brilliant to hear so many young people openly talking about mental health.

Many have made a mental health pledge already. What would your pledge be?

It’s been a busy ‘focus week’, with many teams standing down non-essential activities to improve patient flow & urgent emergency care.

This is supporting people from admission to discharge safely without delay. There are external challenges, but it's about understanding them and how we can improve.

A graphic to show our refreshed three big ambitions - outstanding care, great place to work, and listen to improve. On the left is a pink icon of a heart hovering above a hand, with 'outstanding care' underneath. In the middle is a green icon of a tick in a circle, with 'great place to work' underneath. On the right is a blue ear in a circle with 'listen to improve' underneath.

Thanks to everyone who gave feedback on our strategy for 2025-2030.

Our refreshed strategy is on the ‘this is us’ page of our website and has the same core principles, but with stronger and simplified ambitions:

❣️ Outstanding care
✅ Great place to work
👂 Listen to improve
