Heartbeat: Bring your ambition to life with new transfer scheme

March 5, 2019

This year sees exciting new changes to the popular staff nurse transfer scheme, as it provides more flexibility for colleagues to broaden their experience.

The scheme, which launched two years ago, has so far helped 37 nurses to move to their preferred specialities. To ensure its continued success, the programme will now allow nurses to move to the new speciality after being in their current post for six months, instead of having to wait for one year.

Speaking about this new change, Stephanie Cowin, HR Business Partner said: “We are glad that this scheme has been welcomed by nurses. It has also been an effective tool to help us retain our workforce.

“After receiving feedback from final year students and newly qualified nurses, we have made this formal change where nurses can move to a different team after being in post for a minimum period of six months.

“We hope that this new change will make it easier for our nurses to be in the right team that can support their ambition.”
