A HOSPITAL newsletter is moving away from print and now will now appear online instead.
The traditional paper format will be ousted and a web version – which members of Northern Lincolnshire and Goole Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (NLAG) can access – will be sent out via e-mail.
Members of the trust receive two newsletters a year from the organisation, providing them with an update of what has been happening with service developments, new appointments and general governor and member news.
Now, staff have decided to make the newsletter more interactive, filled with more information, news and developments from across the trust.
Alison Hurley, membership manager, said: "More and more people have access to e-mails these days, either on a home computer or a smartphone, so we decided to go digital with our members' newsletter which also helps towards the Trust's Cost Improvement Programme and in ensuring our funds are directed towards providing quality patient care wherever possible.
"It is, therefore, imperative that we have the e-mail addresses of our members.
"If a member has not already provided us with an e-mail address, they can call 01724 387946 or e-mail nlg-tr.foundationtrust office@nhs.net to do so.
"Members don't want to miss out on our first bumper digital newsletter."
The members' newsletter will also be available to view on the trust website at www.nlg.nhs.uk
