CHATTER BOX Your fortnightly bulletin for SaTH colleagues and events Friday 8 March 2024
Last Autumn, we invited you take part in the NHS Staff Survey 2023. Thank you to those of you who took part. 45% of us shared our views of what it’s like to work in the NHS, and our own organisation, to make things better for colleagues and patients. We are pleased that the survey results show we are making progress and statistically have significantly improved in all nine elements of the People Promise and themes. This shows that the work we are all doing as part of our culture improvement programme is making a difference in helping to create a better place to work and receive care for everyone. Although we are moving in the right direction and in many areas are closer to the national average, overall we remain below average and have much more work to do to create the culture we want. We
should all feel proud of how far we have come and must continue to work together to make SaTH a better place for all. We have created this short video which explores our results in more detail, along with what this means for our organisation and the next steps in our culture improvement programme. We should all be really proud of the progress we are making. We know we have fantastic colleagues and together we will continue to strive to be amongst one of the best places to work and receive care. Change doesn’t happen immediately, but we are really pleased with our progress to date and your valued feedback and ideas are really helping to shape our onward journey in improving our culture.
