  • Armed Forces involvement at Trust Board meetings and ‘lunch and learn’ events.
  • Reservists involvement in Business Continuity Planning arrangements.
  • Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) 203 (Welsh) Field Hospital, including the launch of a joint Clinical Excellence Award.
  • Commitment to the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) Prince of Wales Cadet Scheme which provides nursing cadets structured placements at VCC and the Welsh Blood Service (WBS). 
  • Joined the Career Transition Partnership and committed to a guaranteed interview process for those that meet essential skills criteria.
