Today marks the fifth National Healthcare Estates and Facilities Day, providing an important opportunity to recognise and celebrate the vital contribution of our Estates and Facilities (E&F) colleagues across One LSC.
Our Estates and Facilities teams are truly the backbone of every organisation. Their commitment, professionalism and dedication ensure that our wards and departments operate safely, efficiently and effectively every single day.
This year has presented particular challenges for our E&F workforce, not least through the transition into One LSC and the significant change this has brought. Despite this, colleagues have continued to demonstrate resilience, adaptability and an unwavering focus on supporting patient care.
From portering and car parking to medical engineering, waste management, linen services, transport and accommodation; from catering, administration and maintenance to estates management, domestic services, general office and security - every role plays a critical part in delivering high-quality care.
As we recognise this national day, we also acknowledge the essential role our E&F colleagues play in improving services and supporting the wellbeing of our patients and staff across our sites.
Thank you to all our Estates and Facilities colleagues for your continued commitment, professionalism, and invaluable contribution.
