Ruby Weaver - Team Secretary, Laurel Ward
“I love being a part of the change and breaking the stigma about mental health while supporting people’s recovery. The NHS is so diverse and inclusive, and one of my favourite things about it is meeting people from different cultures and backgrounds.”
Joy Grange — Pharmacy Technician
“I love working at SWLSTG because this Trust has helped me realise, I can get involved on so many levels. There are so many staff networks and I love that our Trust is working to engage our workforce to have a voice to speak up. There are so many learning and development opportunities, and staff here are kind and friendly. I keep remembering my first day of arriving at the grounds at Springfield Hospital, it was a sunny day surrounded by greenery. I remember thinking, I’m happy that I have made this move, and have not looked back since!”
Amanda-Lee – Lead Mental Health Pharmacist
“I love the strong sense of community and purpose here. Every day, I feel like I’m contributing to something bigger, which is incredibly fulfilling. I also really enjoy working with colleagues from different teams. I think that you can learn so much from working with others.”
Ricky Wong – Deputy Chief Pharmacist
“I find our Trust to be an inclusive organisation where both staff and patients are involved in quality improvement processes. It’s exciting to see the Trust’s commitment to becoming an anti-racist organisation and embedding this culture into our services. There’s also increasing support for leadership development, particularly for colleagues from ethnic minority backgrounds, which is really encouraging. I’m confident that the Trust is moving in the right direction and becoming an even better place to work!”
