The Admin Base is a SharePoint site just for those working in admin to share expertise and resources.

It was designed by admin colleagues for admin colleagues, so whether you are new to UHB, new to an admin role or are an established member of our admin teams, you will find a wealth of useful information.

The site is yours and is managed by a group of site administrators who review and manage new content. If there is something missing or you think there is something that would make it better, please don’t hesitate to get in touch and someone from the team will be in touch.
