Back in April -May 2023, we conducted a survey asking staff how we can can improve what we offer though our Staff Benefit's package to accommodate an ever work environment. We had an amazing response, with some great ideas and comments fed back to us. As a result of this and to shout about the changes we're making our 'Your Said, We Did' campaign was born!
Keep up to date with the changes we're making and select the headlines below to read our 'You Said, We Did' for that heading. This is an ongoing project, as we still have hundred's of comments to address, so check back again soon for to see our latest 'You Said, We Did' actions.

Bridlington Staff Shop
You requested a Staff Shop to be opened at Bridlington Hospital. Unfortunately Bridlington Hospital doesn't have enough staff to make opening a Staff Shop financially viable right now. As an alternative, we're thinking of bringing some cinema/ flamingo land tickets to our next event for staff to buy. Do you work at Bridlington Hospital? Let us know if you would be interested in this by emailing laura.monkman@nhs.net
