Did you know Public Health is about improving the health and wellbeing of entire communities – not just treating illness?

As the NHS moves towards prevention-first care, MPFT is helping lead this change through data, research, partnerships and joined‑up working across physical and mental health, learning disabilities and social care.

Our latest PEP Talk article looks at how our Public Health team is:
✅ Supporting services to understand community needs
✅ Tackling health inequalities
✅ Helping staff have healthier conversations with patients
✅ Improving outcomes across our local communities

We’re proud to share an extract of a note of appreciation for the staff of Holly Ward at The Redwoods Centre in Shrewsbury from a recent patient.

“…the care and empathy I received was professional and the staff showed a genuine care to their patients... The ward itself is just a building but the staff that work there are all angels and archangels as humans and the ward manager S makes sure the ward runs like clockwork.”

Thank you Team Holly, for treating our patients with such care and compassion – keep up the great work!

Help us make care better through lived experience 💚

At MPFT, lived experience is at the heart of what we do. Our Peer Support and Lived Experience roles ensure that the voices and experiences of people who have used services help shape the care we provide every day.

We’re now welcoming Expressions of Interest (EOI) for Peer Support and Lived Experience roles. These roles are incredibly valuable in supporting individuals, building understanding, and improving outcomes across our services. If you’d like to use your lived experience to support others and help us deliver the best possible care, please consider submitting your EOI.

We’re proud to be an integrated health and social care trust, where health and social care professionals work closely together to provide joined-up, person-centred support.

Today, Ali France, Sensory Operational Service Delivery Lead within MPFT’s Sensory Team in Staffordshire, has been featured by BBC Stoke & Staffordshire as part of the BBC’s Social Care coverage.

Ali spoke to BBC Midlands Today and BBC Radio Stoke about how the Sensory Team supports people who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing, Deafened or Deafblind, alongside people living with a visual impairment, to stay independent and confident at home.

Among those Ali and the team supports is Sarah (pictured with her beautiful hearing dog Chloe), who shared the impact the service has had on her life: “Ali has given me the confidence to live in as Deaf world… and still be an independent person.”

Ali also spoke about her own experience of growing up profoundly Deaf, and her incredible life and career helping others.

It’s brilliant to see the work of our social care colleagues and services showcased on a national platform. Please keep an eye out for BBC coverage today! 📺🎙️
