Congratulations to our QMC, Leengate Project team who recently held a successful and very positive interactive ‘open day event’ for NHS staff and service providers who will be migrating into the new facilities. The building will provide spaces for several care and service disciplines ranging from physiotherapy to hygiene services and boasts superb facilities including a gym.

Simon Gollins, Project Manager, and the team have regularly communicated with staff and NHS departments to ensure everyone had their say and input into the development. Going the ‘extra mile’ the team proposed the open day event which was welcomed by the NUH Trust.

The event provided an ideal opportunity to show end users around the facilities and to offer a warm and welcoming opportunity to engage openly. The team created a ‘feedback form’ enabling them to capture honest and relevant feedback regarding the development, communication, and the actual event.

To encourage feedback, the team entered all completed forms into a prize draw where a form was selected at random.

The lucky winner Florica Zah will get to select which holistic therapy session she would like to receive with her voucher for local private therapist/holistic treatment centre in Beeston, Nottingham.

Here are some of the great feedback statements the team received.
