Our mission at Mid Cheshire is to inspire hope and provide unparalleled care for the people and communities of Cheshire, helping them to enjoy life to the fullest and we’re delighted that this is reflected in the latest NHS Staff Survey results. The Trust has ranked amongst the top three Acute and Community Trust's in Cheshire & Merseyside for colleagues feeling that care is the organisation’s top priority and that their role makes a difference to patients/service users.
The Trust also ranked second in the North West (Acute and Community Trusts) for staff “agreeing” or “strongly agreeing” they would recommend their Trust as a place to work
Every year, staff across NHS Trusts in England are asked to give their views on a number of themes which help to shape the picture of what that Trust is like as a place to work and to receive care. The NHS Staff Survey helps us gain a detailed insight into how staff feel about culture, their wellbeing, levels of engagement and motivation, equality, diversity and inclusion, safety and quality of care at their place of work.
The survey is aligned to the seven themes of the NHS People Promise, alongside the two elements of staff engagement and morale. Mid Cheshire’s overall scores (out of 10) for each are detailed in the graphic below with the national average in brackets for comparison.
Ian Moston, Chief Executive Officer, said: “I am delighted that we have scored higher than the national average and improved each of our scores from last years results across all themes.
“Our fantastic staff are what makes Mid Cheshire so special and I would like to thank them all for their continued hard work and for making their voice count by taking part in the Staff Survey.
“It remains very important that our staff take the opportunity to give feedback on the things that matter to them; to help us keep improving their working lives and support them as much as we can.
“The Staff Survey provides a great opportunity for us to reflect not just on the areas we have performed well in but also identify where we still need to focus our attention over the next year and beyond.” The full set of results are available here.
