Meeting at The Towers

Meeting at The Towers this morning with Abida Hussein (Equality & Human Rights Officer, Integrated Equality Service, Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust). We're concentrating on wrapping up the text for the staff resource booklet on hospital care for patients of different affiliations in terms of religion or belief. Copy for the communities who are members of Leicester Council of Faiths has been finalised some months ago; those sections closely follow the text of our leaflets and I have easy access to individuals from those communities to check facts for me. However, the resource is supposed to be more wide-ranging than just those eight faiths, so I've been writing additional sections in similar style on Humanists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Pagans and Rastafarians. Abida wants to sign off on the project later today before she goes on leave for the last part of Ramadan, which means that I have till 1515 this afternoon to finish those additional sections. So it's back to the office, toot de suite, after our meeting to polish off those final sections!
