Staying healthy celebration
On Thursday 19 July a party was held for members of staff who had not taken sick leave in a year.Names were taken from the Bradford Scoring system and 400 members of staff were invited to enjoy the free finger foods and drinks at the N19 restaurant where they were thanked for their hard work and healthy persistence throughout the year.
Chief executive David Sloman spoke to many members of staff, curious as to how they maintained such healthy levels for so long. He was greeted with reassuring responses of hard work, wine, a gluten free diet, self-medication, the five-a-day diet, as well as working at the Whittington for 40 years having been a driving force, and listening to your grandmother.
Whilst acknowledging that there is no shame in taking time off work for falling sick, David thanked those who have been healthy enough to bring a full year's worth of contribution to the Whittington and wishes you all the best of health.
