‘Step into the NHS’ as Sherwood Forest Hospitals prepares for AGM

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) and annual members meeting of Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust will take place on Tuesday 24 September 2024.

It will provide an in-depth look at the Trust’s performance, followed by a unique ‘Step into the NHS’ careers showcase featuring the incredible work taking place across its King’s Mill, Newark and Mansfield Community Hospital sites.

The annual meeting, which will take place at King’s Mill Hospital from 5.30pm for approximately one hour, is open to all members of the public.

During this time, the AGM will give an in-depth look at the Trust’s performance for the year, as well as give the public an opportunity to learn how the Trust is planning to meet the challenges it is expecting to face in the remainder of 2024/25 and beyond.

Graham Ward, the Chair of Sherwood Forest Hospitals, said: “In the past year alone, we have achieved so much as a Trust. Despite the challenges we have had to face, our colleagues have continued to go above and beyond to provide compassionate, outstanding patient care.

“This includes building our new approach to improving lives with our five-year strategy that launched in March of this year. The strategy sets out how we seek to provide outstanding care over the coming years.

“This year's AGM will be followed by a ‘Step into the NHS’ showcase event, sharing not only the amazing work going on across our hospitals but also the range of career opportunities we have in the Trust.”

The ‘Step into the NHS’ careers showcase will take place in King’s Mill Hospital’s main reception area from 6pm to 7.30pm. The showcase will give anyone attending the opportunity to find out more about the work that is going on across the hospitals, as well as share the range of career opportunities within the Trust with anyone considering a role in the NHS.

Departments across Sherwood Forest Hospitals including IT, pharmacy, nursing, therapy services and many more will be there, not only to showcase their current vacancies, but also to chat informally with potential recruits and answer any questions.
