Penny Emerit, chief executive at PHU, said: “Alongside the rest of the NHS, we have continued to face unprecedented challenges over the past year in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Working closely with partners across the region and nationally, as well as with our inspirational staff here at PHU, we have faced these challenges together and we will be sharing more on our response at the event.
“With the incredible support of our local community, the AGM will be a time to celebrate what we achieved during difficult circumstances. The event will also provide an opportunity to look forwards, and we are excited to be able to share our plans for our ambitious new emergency department. I hope you will be able to join us.”
