Proud moment being part of this fabulous group and BGT audition!
Colleagues from across the Trust strutted their stuff in front of the nation when they took part in Britain’s Got Talent.

Delighted to finally share that @midlifemovers are on @BGT tonight! It was such fun!
Several people saying to me not to worry that I have a father and brother (very recently) who experienced heart attacks in their 40s/50s because I am female. It happens to us too!
Don't dismiss the early signs of a heart attack.
A squeezing across the chest. A feeling of unease. It’s never too early to call 999 and describe your symptoms: orlo.uk/5HXen

Useful 2 minute film from CQC explaining how they will now be using scoring to define ratings
In this short video, we're focusing on how we will score using our new regulatory approach. buff.ly/4a1sKRh
A brilliant initiative implemented by @kirsty_tanton that has shown measurable improvements. Could this be replicated by other care groups in the trust?
The fabulous Debs and wonderful Midlife Movers dance classes made it onto TV (I’m at the back 🫣). One of the best things I’ve done is find this lovely lady and wonderful community ❤️
Debbie Forsyth set up the Midlife Movers in summer 2022, and now her hard work has been recognised. The 55-year-old has been nominated as one of ITV Meridian's Pride of Britain fundraiser of the year.

This 👇 has saved my mental health over the past year. I dance like no one is watching and it’s the best therapy ever.

'Learning from safety incidents' resources are available now. Each one briefly describes a critical issue - what happened, what CQC and the provider have done about it, and the steps you can take to avoid it happening in your service.
