Designed to be more welcoming to visitors, suppliers and colleagues, the new ‘Breakout Zone’ which is in the Estates foyer will also contain space for training and education, additional welfare facilities, hot desking pods and a welcoming waiting area.

“We want people to visit the Estates department and understand who we are and what we do – and in doing so gain an appreciation of the essential input Estates have within the Trust and how we support our patient experience. I specifically want to thank Emma Morten and all the Estates Management team who have worked tirelessly to make the improvements for our Estates workforce. It’s important that we all continue to work together as a team and the changes to our environment and our systems will make a huge difference.”

Mathew McKechnie MIWFM, Assistant Director Estates
