Armistice Day marked across Trust

Staff and patients fell silent as Armistice Day was observed across CPFT.

The Trust's Armed Forces Network organised remembrance events at the Cavell Centre in Peterborough and the Resource Centre at Fulbourn, Hospital, Cambridge.

Tom Bale, Operations Director and Chair of the Armed Forces Network said: "I was profoundly moved by the number of staff, patients, and community members who the events. 

"It was a meaningful opportunity to come together not only to remember but also to collectively express our gratitude to those who serve, have served, or support those who have served."

CPFT was recently successful in achieving NHS Veteran Aware reaccreditation.
The award recognises the Trust’s ongoing commitment to understand and meet the needs of the armed forces community. The reaccreditation followed a detailed submission made by the Trust which was described as "an excellent example, which is most strongly supported".

CPFT employs more than 4,700 staff who provide community physical healthcare for older people and those with long-term conditions, mental healthcare for adults and young people, eating disorder services in Norfolk, health visiting and school nursing in Peterborough, social care services and learning disability support. The Trust is also renowned for its research work.
