The message below, another wonderful example of our local community sending their best wishes to you all, was sent via email to Ann Marr, Chief Executive this morning.
Ann promised the sender, a local gentleman, that we’d share it with you all.
“Thank you from the bottom of my Heart to all the staff at this very difficult time. Be strong, be safe, look after each other. God bless”
Today’s cabinet update is below:
NEW Covid website for STHK staff
To make it easier for staff to access covid related information. All STHK covid content currently on the staff intranet is now available on a new website. This is accessible 24/7 from any personal or Trust device including:
- Mobile phones
- iPads
- Laptops
- Desktop computers
Url: covid.sthk.nhs.uk
Password: STHKcovid19
Read the latest staff updates, find information on when and what PPE to wear, read the latest FAQs, access forms and look up the latest clinical guidelines for your area. Posters can also be downloaded directly from the site.
The staff intranet pages will remain live over the Bank Holiday weekend, but from Tuesday 14th April the STHK covid site will be the place to go to for all the latest information.
PPE
The Trust PPE guide is now available online as well as the national PHE guidance for secondary and community care.
Staff ID badges
Can all staff please ensure they are wearing their ID badges when on duty.

#HiddenHospitalHeroes
When it comes to staff testing these teams are leading the way! They’ve been incredibly busy booking, swabbing and reporting and so far have carried out over 1000 tests and counting!
It’s a fantastic effort from everyone involved and we’d like to say a big thank you and an even bigger well done for your heroic efforts.
