Last week, County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust (CDDFT) Chief Executive, Sue Jacques, was joined by several of our Trust Governors on a series of visits to our community hospitals.
The visits, which included multiple sites across the Trust, offered an invaluable opportunity to hear directly from staff and to see first-hand the exceptional work being delivered by our community healthcare teams.
Throughout the day, Sue and the Governors were able to speak with a wide range of staff, gaining insights into the services provided, the challenges teams are facing, and the innovative approaches being used to support patients and improve outcomes.
The compassion, professionalism, and patient-centred care on display at every site made a lasting impression.
Our Governors also valued the opportunity to see local services in action, strengthening their understanding of how care is being delivered in communities across County Durham and Darlington.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the teams involved in hosting the visit and for their ongoing hard work and commitment.
