Call out for photos
Dumfries and Galloway NHS Board are calling out to their staff and to the community to ask them to share with them their photos of the region to be used in some of their upcoming promotional activity, including recruitment campaigns.
The current stock of photos needs to be updated so as to reflect the diverse culture, activities, housing, and work life of our beautiful region. The NHS wants to ensure when they go to recruitment events to promote working in our region that they can appeal to a wide ranging audience and really showcase what it has to offer.
Your photo will need to fall into one of the following categories and below are some ideas as to what that could be
Work
The NHS are looking for some pictures showcasing some of the great places there are to work in within the organisation across the region. Do you have pictures from team away days or general life in your role? Perhaps you work at DGRI and there is a particular room which has an amazing view or you want to share with others the work area or a place where you like to go and chill out.
Live
Perhaps you live in an area that has outstanding scenery such as beaches, countryside or it may be you think you live in or know of a really pretty house or street that you feel would help promote the area.
Play
Please have loads of fun with this category. We are looking for a range of photos to appeal to families and single professionals. It could be children running on one of the beautiful beaches or shots from a family day out at a local attraction. You may have photos from one of the local food, drink, music or book festivals that we have locally. It may be that you have some photos relating to sports or outdoor pursuits such as bicycle trails or running groups that would appeal to people out of the area.
