NHS staff rank SASH amongst the best nationally

Results from the national NHS Staff Survey have ranked Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust (SASH) in the top 20% of hospitals nationally as a place to work and receive treatment and also as somewhere patients receive quality treatment and care.

Staff satisfaction with their level of responsibility and involvement and feeling that their role makes a difference to patients has continued to increase and put SASH in the top 20% across the country and above the national average.

Staff also rated highly that they felt recognised and valued and that they were part of a strong team providing high quality care to patients.

Michael Wilson CBE, chief executive, Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust said:

“I am delighted to see how positive staff feel about working at SASH and the strong link with this and the quality of care they know they are able to provide.

“Not only is this important for everyone at SASH it is, of course, especially important for our patients and the people we care for.

“Given the ongoing pressures we have experienced locally and in the NHS more generally, I am particularly encouraged that staff feel motivated and able to contribute to improvements in the way we provide care and our plans for the future.”

A total of 67%, an increase on last year, of staff from across the organisation completed the survey – compared with a national average of 44%, with their very positive responses putting Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust in the top 20% nationally for 25 of 32 areas covered by the survey including:

  • Staff engagement
  • Staff motivation
  • Staff recommending SASH as a place to work or receive treatment
  • Effective team working
  • Support from managers and good communication between senior managers and staff
  • Quality training, learning and development
  • Using feedback from patients effectively to improve the care provided
  • Managers being interested in the health and well-being of staff
  • Satisfaction with resourcing and support
  • Staff confidence and security in reporting unsafe clinical practice
  • Staff feeling able to contribute towards improvements at work

 

Michael Wilson added: “As well as showing us where we are getting it right the results also give us a valuable insight into areas where we need to focus on.

“I am proud of the commitment of all our staff to making a difference to the people we care for and delighted that this is reflected in how motivated they feel and in their recommendation of SASH as a place to work and to receive care.”
