      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Having a job which gives satisfaction helping the Patients, the NHS was a wonderful invention which started the year after I was born, it still could be great given the chance

      Cons

      Too many Government Targets and pressures, and seeing is knocked so much by the media, an announce of praise is worth more than a ton of criticism

      Archaic and disorganised

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great team to work with, supportive colleagues. I feel able to be autonomous and am not micro managed, which I genuinely appreciate very much as I know how I work best.

      Cons

      Systems are archaic - it's like working in the 1970s. As such, they're incredibly inefficient. Nothing happens quickly. In the past two years in my current post the same discussions have been had about changing things to streamline referrals, and yet nothing has happened. I'm told that it's been the same discussion for the past 15 years. Management do not genuinely consult with staff, rather hold meetings where staff are often spoken over and their opinions are not heard, or if they are heard they are not honoured as genuine. While steps are being taken to modernise the systems used, such as upgrading to computer-based files, this is also happening very slowly.
