NHS Staff Survey results show what it is like to work in the NHS and where change is most needed, locally, regionally and nationally. The data helps organisations improve staff experience for colleagues, patients and service users. Your experience helps shape what happens next.
Did you know the NHS Staff Survey... is used to better understand the experiences of our NHS people and to see where more change is needed. People Promise. This is a promise we must make to each other, to work together to improve the experience of working in the NHS for everyone. We are always learning.
