Foundation Trust open events
As part of our commitment to our members we hold open events within the hospital. This provides an opportunity for you to come in and find out what is involved within various different departments, to ask questions and meet key members of staff.
Annual Members' Meeting - Making a positive difference together
More than 70 people attended the Annual Members' Meeting 'Making a positive difference together' in the Board Room of The Queen Elizabeth Hospital on Tuesday 30 July. It was an opportunity for members of our Foundation Trust and the public to see some of the progress achieved in 2023/24.
Bookable tours of some of the hospital facilities were available during the afternoon. These were:
- Our state-of-the-art Endoscopy Unit - where tiny cameras are used in diagnostic and treatment procedures by taking a close look at the inside of your body
- Our Education Faculty's new simulation suite - a practical hands-on space for lifelong learning for new and experienced healthcare professionals
- Our Peddars Way Unit - a new dedicated unit opening this Autumn for patients who are in their last days and hours of life. Funded by the QEH King's Lynn Charity with support from the League of Friends, it will have five ensuite rooms for patients and their loved ones, providing a more comfortable, dignified and private place for people receiving their final care away from busy hospital wards.
Trust Chair Chris Lawrence opned the main meeting and CEO Alice Webster gave an inspirational talk following a video depicting Our Year was shown. A range of innovations that have improved services to the community we serve were showcased with presentations on:
- Urgent and Emergency Care transformation
- Rehab Revolution: innovations in joint replacement therapy
- Our award-winning Education Faculty
