We’re holding our Annual General and Members Meeting (AGM) on Thursday 23 November 2023 at Darlington Arena.
What to expect
We’ll be presenting the Trust’s Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023. It’s also an opportunity to hear about the trust’s performance, improvement plans, and ambitions for the future. As part of this we’ll update on the work that’s being done to improve patient safety, a key part of the Trust’s strategy, Our Journey to Change.
Trust chairman David Jennings will open the event, followed by the key speaker Danny Angus, Associate Director at Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust. Danny will be speaking about their HOPE(S) model, an ambitious human rights-based approach to working with individuals in segregation.
The HOPE(S) model
The HOPE(S) model reduces the use of long-term segregation sometimes experienced by autistic adults, adults with a learning disability and children and young people. Following its success, Mersey Care has been commissioned by NHS England to deliver a national programme to support the roll out of the approach across services in England.
Additional information
Dawn Jessop, TEWV’s Deputy Chief Nurse, will also be speaking about the Trust’s quality and safety journey. This will be followed by a presentation from Mark Allan, Peer Support Lead about peer support and patient safety. The event will also include updates from the Trust’s Chief Executive, Finance Director, Lead governor and the Trust’s auditors.
Visitors to the event, which is open to the public, can also talk with TEWV staff from a variety of Trust teams and services in our ‘marketplace’ where information about services and projects will be shared.
