Team BTH makes a splash at Blackpool Pride

Colleagues from across Blackpool Teaching Hospitals joined the pageant on the prom that was Blackpool Pride this year.

A riot of colour and sound, Team BTH wound their way down the Promenade with hundreds of other revellers on a brilliantly sunny Saturday.

Chief Executive Trish Armstrong-Child and Executive Director of Nursing Bridget Lees were among those who joined the parade.

“I’m absolutely delighted to be here,” said Trish. “This event has been in my calendar for so long. I can’t tell you how proud I am, being part of this parade today and being part of the BTH family.”

Head of Wellbeing and Inclusion Susie Srivastava added: “I’m so proud to be here to celebrate our wonderful, inclusive, compassionate workforce”.

Planning for next year’s event by the Trust’s LGBT Staff Support Network is already under way with plans to make the BTH contribution bigger and better.
