Commercial Week 2023

Today marks the start of Commercial Week 2023, where we’re going behind the scenes within EEAST’s commercial service business units, who are responsible for managing the income generation arm of our organisation.

The team work with external clients to provide key services, which create profitable income that is then reinvested back into our own frontline services here at EEAST, with a view to providing funding to develop more innovation opportunities across the Trust.

Our commercial services include CallEEAST, TrainEEAST and the National Performance Advisory Group (NPAG) who are based within the Trust. During the week, we’ll learn more about what each team does and the important contribution they make to enable us to continue providing the very best care for our patients.

Andrew Gay, Head of Commercial Services, said:

“We know a lot of colleagues across the Trust may not be aware of the pivotal role commercial services plays in generating profitable income streams for the organisation. I’m hoping that over the week we will be able to highlight what we do, raise awareness of the different business areas and share how their work may also be of benefit to EEAST colleagues. Commercial services is a rapidly growing part of EEAST and it’s important that everyone has an understanding of what we do and how we fit into the wider Trust picture.”

Stay tuned throughout the week to find out more about our commercial services, their functions and how they benefit the Trust.
