NHS Staff Survey 2024 results indicate healthy Trust

March 14, 2025

The 2024 Staff Survey results have been published, providing a detailed annual view of the Trust as a place to work. The high-level overview shows the Trust in a healthy position, with higher scores than average for comparable organisations and a great response rate indicating excellent engagement with the survey.

Chief Executive Douglas Blair said: “I’m really encouraged to see increasing numbers of people taking part in this survey each year, as these surveys are most helpful when there is as big a response as possible. The overall results are generally very positive and compare well with similar Trusts across the country.

“It’s great to see that we continue to compare well when it comes to colleagues recommending the Trust as a place to work and to receive care and treatment. This reputation helps us keep the talented colleagues we have and gives us a platform to recruit more people to the Trust.”

The response rate of 61% was up from 58% in 2023 and 55% the year before among substantive colleagues.

More than four in five colleagues (81.2%) say care of patients and service users is the Trust’s priority. Nearly three quarters (71.5%) would recommend the Trust as a place to work, and a similar proportion (76.3%) would be happy with the standard of care for a friend or relative.

Groups of questions from the survey are divided between the seven themes of the NHS People Promise, plus Morale and Staff Motivation. The Trust scored higher than the average for similar Trusts (*) in all nine themes.

The national NHS Staff Survey website has the full results for the Trust, and other Trusts across the country, as well as summaries of national data, comparisons and dashboards.

(*) Comparator Trusts are Mental Health and Learning Disabilities Trusts or
Mental Health, Learning Disability and Community Trusts
