    • Uniting 21,000 staff: how one intranet bridged two NHS trusts ·

      When Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (HUTH) and Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLAG) formed a partnership, creating a unified communication platform was essential. Enter ‘Bridget’, an intranet designed to bridge not just the physical gap between the two organizations, but also the cultural divide.

      In this session with Bonnie Gray, Digital Communications Manager of NHS Humber Health Partnership, we’ll explore how Bridget brought 21,000 staff together, moving NLAG away from SharePoint and overcoming resistance to change. Learn how strategic leadership and a focus on connection turned what could have been seen as a “takeover” into a successful integration that improved communication and accessibility for frontline and desk-based workers.
