@tracy_mcewan93 @emmacam264 @gayle1980 @NicolaH90576050 @ClaireA1803 That’s a great idea!

@emmacam264 @KatieParamore @gayle1980 We have the perfect corridor for this in the cmht....patients/carers on way in and out of clinic appointments....@NicolaH90576050 @ClaireA1803

@emmacam264 @gayle1980 I think that’s a great idea. What about similar for patient/career information at the front door? Could be an excellent supplementary resource for people visiting our wards.
