22HPFT Staff Choir Needs You! As part of the Trust health and wellbeing programme, HPFT is looking at setting up a staff choir to give staff an opportunity to get involved in an activity outside of work. Choirs are a hot topic at the moment with everyone getting involved in singing! You don't even have to be a great singer to take part - it's a sociable activity more than anything! We welcome any members of staff interested in giving it a go. However we cannot start until we have a good representation of men. So we are particularly looking for male choir members to make sure we have all sections covered.For any enquiries please contact james.holland@hertspartsft.nhs.ukWednesday 14 March was national No Smoking Day and the theme this year was 'Take the Leap'. If you would like to take the leap to stop smoking now or know of someone who would like to try, there are many methods of help and support available via Hertfordshire NHS Stop Smoking Service. Call 0800 389 3 998 or visit the website at: www.smokefreehertfordshire.nhs.uk The service has also linked up with the Trust to offer staff who would like to give up smoking the opportunity to attend a stop smoking group where you will receive free help and support to stop smoking.
