Staff survey: Have your say and be in with a chance to win £50 worth of shopping vouchers

November 20, 2020

There are now just 5 days left for you to have your say through the National NHS Staff Survey. Thank you to the 2735 colleagues who have already completed the survey. The survey helps our Trust see what issues colleagues raise and understand how to make improvements. In order to ensure that any changes made as a result truly reflect the views of all colleagues, we need more of you to have your say, so please do so now.

If you complete the survey you could be one of six lucky winners who will take home shopping vouchers worth £50!

The national survey is mandatory for all NHS organisations and the results inform national initiatives that can help support improvements in staff experience and well-being. Importantly we are able to benchmark our results against other organisations. This helps us to see where we excel compared to other, similar organisations and also where we are not as good as some other Trusts. Looking at those Trusts that score more highly than us in certain areas will provide a good way of us to learn from other high performing organisations.

The results are also used by NHS England to support national assessments of quality and safety and the Care Quality Commission uses the results to inform their Intelligent Monitoring work to help to decide who, where and what to inspect.

Every member of staff has been given the opportunity to have their say. Surveys will be distributed predominantly through email with a small number of colleagues receiving papers copies. Please take the time to complete yours. The results will be reviewed and acted upon so we can make our organisation a great place to work. We had our highest response rate ever last year so let’s see if we can beat that!

Note: The email survey will come from  survey@quality-health.co.uk (with the subject heading NHS Staff Survey 2020 Invitation: Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust). If you have not received your survey, please contact the communications team on ext. 5303 or email  swbh.comms@nhs.net. The survey will be open until Friday 27 November.
