The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SaTH) is proud to support the Iaith Gwaith (Working Welsh) campaign, a workplace initiative which aims to support Welsh speakers.
The Iaith Gwaith scheme provides orange badges for Welsh-speaking staff to wear which allows patients and visitors to know that they can speak Welsh.
SaTH, which runs the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital and the Princess Royal Hospital, Telford, is the main provider of acute hospital care for almost 500,000 people from Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin and mid Wales. The 2021 census showed that 17.8% of the Welsh population could speak Welsh.
Paula Gardner, Interim Chief Nursing Officer at SaTH, said: “We are incredibly proud to support the Iaith Gwaith scheme which supports the use of the Welsh language, makes Welsh more visible and accessible, and helps to create a more inclusive environment.
“The initiative will help to support patients and visitors at their most vulnerable, which will help us to continue to provide excellent care for the communities we serve.”
The Iaith Gwaith badge is well established and was launched in 2005. To find out more about the scheme, visit Iaith Gwaith | Welsh Language Comissioner.
