Join our Leicester’s Hospitals Chief Executive, and members of our Executive Team Live on Facebook - Thursday 30 June, 5:15pm
‘Live with Leicester’s Hospitals’ is a new monthly opportunity to hear the latest news and updates from your hospitals from our executive team and ask the questions that matter to you.
Health matters to everyone and we want to make it as easy as possible for you to engage with our executive team, so there’s no need to travel as the conversation is streamed live on Facebook. If you join late or can’t make it, you can also watch it again later at a time that suits you.
This month, the panel will be discussing our current operational picture as well as beginning a dialogue on health inequity. There’ll also be plenty of opportunities for you to ask questions to the panel through the chat function in the event, or you can email questions that you would like to be asked to communications@uhl-tr.nhs.uk by 5pm on Wednesday 29 June.
You can join the event on Facebook Live on Thursday 30 June from 5.15pm-6pm. Click here to register your interest in advance and to join the conversation on the day.
