As part of sustainable health and care week, we have a different theme every day to highlight ways trusts can become more sustainable in the way they provide services. Today we are focusing in on green space and how that can have a positive impact on sustainability, and we have a special podcast from Antony Cobley, Head of Inclusion, Engagement and Wellbeing at University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust.

In this podcast, Antony talks about the extensive green space around the trust, offers advice around where to start, talks about the challenges faced in getting it off the ground and how they maintain the space and link in with the local community.

In this podcast you will hear from the Social Partnership Forum finalists in the HPMA Awards 2018 talking about their winning projects and the challenges they faced and resolved

In this podcast, Beth Mason, Senior Programme Officer at NHS Employers, attends a nurse recruitment assessment day at Guy’s and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust to explore how the recruitment team has worked to ensure a fast and effective process for both the candidate and the trust.

The podcast looks at how the trust has:

- Introduced ‘killer questions’ into the shortlisting process

- Incorporated public-patient involvement representatives onto the interview panel

- Worked collaboratively across the organisation to streamline the logistics of the day and inform the candidates of opportunities throughout the trust.
