Our LGBT+ network aims to ensure that regardless of
employee’s sexual orientation, the opportunities are
equal and that staff can feel comfortable raising issues
and tackling discrimination.

This network will provide an open forum for our LGBT+
colleagues to share their experience of the workplace in
a supportive and safe environment. The network will
provide a ‘listening ear’ for our LGBT+ colleagues as
well as seeking their views to help shape our inclusion
agenda and enable us to focus our efforts on actions
that will make the biggest and most positive difference.

“I feel very strongly that this is a network run and owned by its members. I am
                                passionate about equality, I am passionate about inclusion and recognise fully that
                                the two areas are not interchangeable. I look forward to connecting the work we
                                do with other groups and networks within the hospital and sharing our stories and
                                experiences with one another. I love the thought that this platform can give voice to
                                those identifying as women and will be a positive influence in Derriford and the wider
                                community“

The Faith and Beliefs Staff Network (yes, that’s the FaB Network) aims to provide an
open forum for colleagues of all faiths and beliefs and anyone who is committed
to inclusion, to share their experience of the workplace in a supportive and safe
environment.

The network provides a “listening ear” as well as seeking colleagues’ views to help
shape our inclusion agenda and enable us to focus our efforts on actions that will make
the biggest and most positive difference.

We welcome anybody to take a proactive role in the network, or to simply come along
to listen.

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.
