Today marks the beginning of Lent, a Christian observance consisting of a 40 day period of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving in preparation for Easter. It begins on Ash Wednesday and echoes the 40 days spent by Jesus fasting in the desert and enduring temptation.

This is a significant season in the religious calendar focusing on reflection, repentance and forgoing luxuries or vices. We wish our colleagues, patients and visitors at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust a peaceful Lenten period 📿

Laura (Head of Nursing) presented at the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust Friday Focus on the challenges in gathering direct patient feedback on our services.

To overcome this challenge, Laura analysed comments from the Friends and Family Test for references to medicines. This review has since initiated discussions on addressing process inefficiencies, prescription return rates, and collaboration with the KPO Team to improve patient experience and system performance.

A great example of innovative thinking and The Leeds Way Values 👏

We were pleased to see MMPS making the headlines in a Trust bulletin again this week, following the visit of Stuart Andrew MP (Shadow Secretary of State for Health and Social Care) on Friday.

The visit showcased the brilliant work around Scan4Safety, a project that improves patient safety by using barcode technology, with MMPS being just one of the teams involved at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. This helps ensure that the right patient receives the right care or product in the right place at the right time.

Thank you to everyone involved 👏🏻

Thanks to the MMPS Green Group and wider work in the department, Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has become the first in the country to achieve Gold status of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society's Greener Pharmacy Toolkit ⭐

The group have demonstrated good practice against six domains: people; clinical practice; operations and strategies; resource use; information and communication technology; and travel, with relevant schemes including the medicines return system and optimising the recycling of cardboard.

This is a great reflection of the commitment and passion teams have shown towards sustainability at the Trust - very well done! ♻️
