Feedback: Your Department, Your Voice
We’re always looking for ways that we can make the Department better and no matter what your role, your ideas on how we can do that are always welcome. So if there’s something that you can think of that would make your working life easier, or you discovered a way to make something work that you think should be part of our standard practice or shared with other colleagues, we’d love to hear about it.
There’s currently no magic wand, available additional space or unlimited budget so please don’t ask for the impossible and we will do our very best with the rest. It is unlikely that all ideas and feedback can be implemented but we will at least provide feedback to everything that comes through.
All submissions will go through to Siân Haynes who will make sure the relevant team(s) take this forward and will provide feedback to you. So that feedback or updates can be provided, we won’t be accepting anonymous submissions but there will be an option to let Siân know if you would like her to treat your submission anonymously.
Submit the feedback form to the Department.
This of course is just one way to share your thoughts and ideas and Spencer or your staff directors, reps and champions would always be really happy to hear from you.
