The annual NHS Staff Survey gives our people the opportunity to tell us about their experience working at the Trust. For the 2023 survey just over 2800 colleagues gave us their views (58.5%). It was great to see from the results that colleagues are saying that:

89.7% believe they are making a positive difference to patients/service users;

82.4% agree that care of patients and service users is the organisations priority;
