If you work in a hospital or if you are signed up with a nurse agency, then you will be interested to know that carers can now take part in a staffing and culture survey. This also applies to those who are working through a nursing recruitment agency and those who are seeking care jobs. A decade from the public enquiry that took place, it would seem that the Nursing Times are now launching a survey that has been conducted so that they can see what has changed so far. The survey is for registered nurses only, but if you are a healthcare assistant or if you work as a student nurse then you can take part as well. You have to work in the UK to be able to complete the survey. This comes around a decade after Sir Robert Francis published his findings and when he launched an enquiry into the former NHS trust. This is commonly known as Mid Staffs. The Trust came under a lot of scrutiny and a lot of this stems from the high patient mortality rates across various hospitals. Stafford Hospital has come under a lot of concern and a lot of this comes from families. Sir Robert has also chosen to carry out an enquiry because of the staffing levels that are currently in dire straits. To mark the milestone the Nursing Times have run some of the questions regarding the survey once more and this is great to say the least. Of course, it’s exciting to see how much has changed and that more changes could come about as a positive result of the surveys that have been launched.
