Represent the Partnership not self
It is helpful to be aware that your colleagues may be employed by a different partner organisation than you – for example an SCFT Receptionist may work alongside a Here employed AP.
Because of this parts of your induction and HR processes may be different to some of your colleagues. However, you are all part of the Sussex MSK Partnership and are working together in accordance with the visions and values of the service.

This assists with the day to day running of the service and means that when patients call into the service they speak to a member of team who will be more specialised to assist with their query.
