Having the flu vaccine protects you, your family and the people you care for from flu. On average over 11,000 people die each year from flu. Some years it’s much more and many more are hospitalised each year. Vaccination means less staff sickness from flu, helping the NHS and social care to keep running effectively during a flu outbreak when services are particularly busy. You can give flu to your family and those you care for even if you don’t have any symptoms. Staff who aren’t vaccinated may unknowingly pass on flu to those who are at increased risk from the virus.

This network is a safe space to discuss improvements and adjustments whilst feeling comfortable doing so. “As Chair of the BAME network, and because of my own personal experiences, I am confident that I can help others. I look forward to improving the BAME relationships within this Trust and the wider community. We are all different but we are all equal and there is strength in unity. I am looking forward to the BAME network moving from strength to strength. I am very proud of the Trust for investing in such a positive movement and the future is an exciting one.” - Kyeiyanne James, Chair BAME Network October is Black History Month in the UK, an event that has been celebrated nationwide for more than 30 years.
