The results of the NHS England Staff Survey 2018 have just been released and contain some worrying statistics.<\/p>\n
Approximately 30% of staff within the NHS in England said that they did not feel secure raising concerns about unsafe clinical practice.<\/p>\n
Over 40% of those surveyed were not able to confirm that they felt confident that their concerns would be addressed by their organisation.<\/p>\n
These statistics are particularly worrying in the light of further comments by almost 30% of staff who reported seeing an error, near miss or incident in the last month which could have hurt patients or service users.<\/p>\n
It is worth bearing in mind that staff shortages and increasing demand are putting NHS staff under increasing pressure. Almost 40% of staff commented that they felt unwell last year as a result of work-related stress. According to the survey, this is the worst response to this question in the last five years.<\/p>\n
