UCLH staff survey

Staff rate UCLH the top trust in England to work for, for the second year running! 

Once again, UCLH has received the highest score of all general acute and acute/community NHS trusts in England for staff that would recommend us as a place to work.  

In the most recent NHS Staff Survey, some 77 per cent of our staff said they ‘agree’ or ‘strongly agree’ with the statement: ‘I would recommend my organisation as a place to work.” Analysis of the survey results by the Health Service Journal (HSJ) showed that UCLH got the highest score on this question of all acute and acute/community trusts in England.  

Staff were also very positive about the care we provide for our patients, with 86 per cent saying they would be happy for a friend or relative to be treated here, compared to 63 per cent (average) for other acute trusts.  

Nordene Davis (pictured), who has been a senior operating department practitioner at UCLH for more than 10 years, said: “Working at UCLH is great. There’s a real sense of teamwork and everyone supporting each other.   

“I would definitely recommend UCLH as a place to work, as we live up to our values of safety, kindness, teamwork and improving!” 

Chief executive David Probert said: “To be named the top trust to work for in England for the second year running is an incredible achievement. A massive thank you to everyone in this organisation, as success is only possible when we all work together.  

“Once again, we've shown that at UCLH, we have a real ‘OneTeam’ ethos, and our values – safety, kindness, teamwork and improving – are central to the way we work.” 

The NHS Staff Survey is a chance to learn more about what we’re getting right, and where we need to improve. Over the coming year and beyond we’ll be continuing our efforts to improve the experience of working at UCLH for our staff.  

Over the past year, we have continued our efforts to tackle violence and aggression against our staff. We have also rolled out initiatives to support staff affected by the high cost of living. We now have more than 300 Wellbeing Champions across UCLH who are helping to signpost our staff to health and wellbeing initiatives that are helping to improve their lives both at work and at home.
