SOUTHPOD
Southpod is the voice of the Southern Health and Social Care Trust. We provide health and social care services across five council areas but what exactly does that mean? Join us, the Communications team, and our occasional guest takeovers, as we discuss and explore the work of the Trust as we continue to provide safe, high quality care. We will talk to SHSCT staff and senior leaders to share with you the highs, the lows, the stresses and successes.
