More than 150 Staff from MPFT and BHFT took part in a virtual Random Connections event that encouraged networking and meeting new people. Random Connections provided a way to share knowledge, meet people in a similar Trust, and broaden understanding of other teams’ work. Users found the event to be a great way to discuss practices, make new friends and relax from the normal day to day.
- “I really enjoyed the experience; it was great to get a different perspective and I now have some fresh ideas to bring to my next Team Meeting of things that have worked well in another service in a different trust. We have already arranged a follow up coffee break in 2 months’ time.”
- “I was matched with someone outside of BHFT and what a super match, we so much to catch up and learn from one another - it was a great opportunity!”
- “It was great to meet someone new from a different trust. We chatted about similarities and differences in the trusts we work. I learned more about her role, projects she was involved in which sounded really interesting. We also had a natter about family, life, interests and experiences.”
- “Reinvigorating, friendly and engaging.”
