Members of staff from East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust attended the inaugural Eastbourne Pride to promote the organisation as a place to work and the benefits of working at ESHT. People also had the opportunity to sign up to join patient user groups which will help to shape and influence future decision making along with those interested in volunteering at the Trust.

The reaction from those attending was fantastic with many people offering their support for the NHS. A huge thank you to colleagues and friends who came along, I think I can say on behalf of everyone we had an amazing day.”
