In honour of National Walking Month, the East of England Collaborative Procurement Hub will be taking on a virtual step challenge across Europe to raise vital funds for My WiSH Charity.

My WiSH Charity enhances the care patients at the West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust receive.

Our updated Transforming Organisations, Partnerships and Systems framework (Transform) offers #NHS trusts access to a range of advisory and support services - among them: strategy, governance and training.
See our website for more details: bit.ly/3vWRRp1.

Our latest case study highlights the collaborative work we undertook with #TeamNNUH Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals in Norwich to assist with their insourcing requirements.

The project helped to streamline patient flow and deliver savings.

In our blog about stoma care services and the Hub’s frameworks supporting them, charity IA (Ileostomy and Internal Pouch Association) reminds us, for ostomates ‘every experience is different’ and ‘stoma care needs to be tailored to each individual patient.’

Full story on our blog: bit.ly/424Kkju.

We meet Beyond the Pouch podcaster, ostomate Rachel Morris in our blog feature on our frameworks supporting stoma care services. Rachel explains how patient choice can make a big difference to the quality-of-life issues ostomates can face.
