Media & Communications Team @HIOWH_NHSFT

Great podcast here - we love a patient story and hearing how our services can make a real difference @CommsHero tagging you in for your interest

Learning new tech - every day’s a school day - expanding our knowledge to help raise awareness by presenting at events

Great video we did with @SolentUni student raising awareness of The Lighthouse service - a safe haven in Southampton for people experiencing a mental health crisis

What better way to share the work we do than with a video talking to our carer liaison Karrie with carer Polly Love the power of storytelling @CarersTrust @Southern_NHSFT youtu.be/VtHUZcrH6FQ

We love working with the media - not only do they help us tell our story and raise awareness but they themselves learn something new about the NHS. But of course we couldn’t do any of this without the bravery of the people that use our services speaking about their experiences TY

Yipee we love awards and congrats to these two amazing healthcare support workers such a privilege to interview them and take their pics

We are ‘over the moon’ excited to announce that our great recruitment comms guys Matt and Georgia @Southern_NHSFT @SHFT_Careers have been shortlisted for a @CommsHero award comms unicorn 🦄 of the year #nhscomms @FabNHSStuff @AsifChoudry

We love organising a star awards event - the lights, the music, the award nominees, getting together with fabulous people across @Southern_NHSFT and celebrating achievements both from rising stars to long service awards @TomDoesComms @DonelanAmy @DonelanJodie fab evening

Our new kids on the block working specifically on recruitment have been smashing it lately with amazingly put together videos - with a quick turnaround to entice people to come and work for us - you can get a real sense of a great team at Lymington hospital and the area 👍

Who doesn’t like a video for conveying messages - but make them short and interesting - no one wants to be watching an epic trilogy!

Here comes another fabulous podcast - launching next week in time for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #anxiety #mhaw2023

Great to record podcasts - much easier way to truly hear the emotions in peoples’ voices and great for storytelling

Ohhh love an emotional reel maker - music really turns a series of photos and vids into something truly amazing - thanks to @AaronPhippsGBWR for his amazing keynote speech - inspiring our staff to a standing ovation

Absolutely love working with @SolentUni tv production students - they have such fresh ideas and a way to tell a story - we are very lucky to have worked with them for 2 years in a row to deliver amazing high quality videos we can use to raise awareness of mental health issues

We love good toolkit thanks @mentalhealth

So we’ve been learning more about the power of creative writing today ably led by @AmeliaBM89 including headlines, hooks, people personas, key messages, think, feel, action - combo of theory and interactive sessions and a chance as a team to rediscover the power of a pun

We are loving our new Comms approach to recruitment - introducing our staff members - Olivia How do you do recruitment Comms? #nhscomms

What a great way of celebrating our international nurses - great to welcome them to the NHS - thanks for coming
