Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust

We've recently held our very first 'Ageing Well' learning event at Billingshurst Community Centre.   With partners such as Alzheimer's Society, Healthwatch, Age UK and Active Sussex in attendance alongside our clinicians within Adult Services, the event provided an opportunity to engage, learn and share experience with other clinicians. 

A huge congratulations to all our incredible team members who were recognised at the Staff Awards last night! 🎉 We celebrated the dedication and hard work of our staff across Sussex, who consistently deliver outstanding care. With 14 awards presented across various categories, we were honoured to also recognise colleagues who have shown exceptional long service—celebrating milestones of 20, 30, and even 40 years. 🌟

Our Voluntary Services team has done it again! We're very happy to share that they've successfully achieved the Investing in Volunteers standard for the second time! This recognition highlights their ongoing commitment to providing excellent volunteer management, ensuring all our volunteers feel valued, supported, and proud to be part of the team.

This #AHPsDay Elaine, one of our Senior Specialist Diabetes Dietitians, talks about why she loves being an AHP.

We joined thousands of people on Saturday in the Brighton and Hove Pride Parade. Thankfully the rainy weather stayed away and it was great to see so many people cheering, waving and dancing along to the music. 🏳️🌈 Our LGBTQIA+ network was key in arranging and organising our team for the parade, which included a parade flag decorated by staff and volunteers across the trust.
