Great place to develop important work skills needed for that career progression. Not a lot of staff so a lot of work pressure for available staff. Alright

Good NHS Trust

Staff Nurse (Former Employee) - London - 20 February 2023

Very welcoming and supportive management team, offering great opportunities to grow and develop on all professional levels, despite the overwhelming pressure that the NHS is facing nowadays.Having a proper induction and training development created a solid base of professionalism for the rest of career as a professional nurse, providing the expected standards of care in any settings around the country.

Pros

Full implementation of the correct NHS standards

Cons

Long hours, not enough quality food supplies on site with substantial discounted rates for staff, while on duty

one type of culture are majority of workers-clicky.Typical day report on patients take workload plan and deliver care. Interact for medication rounds to work out break relief. You need to be self sufficient and of strong character. Multiple demands. most enjoyable part of job caring for patients. hardest part of job demand exceeds supply.

Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust is a good place to work in. The trust do support and care for their staff. However, the wards can be very busy and the job can be rather stressful and physically and mentally demanding.

Pros

Staff canteen

Disgraceful!

Patient Manager (Former Employee) - London - 11 October 2021

I worked for this organisation for 17 good years, in which I made steady career progression, I enjoyed being part of team in which I worked, there was always a feeling of camaraderie and we all worked hard to achieve the department's goals, often going above and beyond our remit.Things changed....when a new management structure was implemented, no one mattered anymore, it became a cold uncaring environment; The correct HR policies were not adhered too, how they got away with it, I don,t know! - a horrible episode then ensued, which I can only describe as mental torture.After a long period of sickness leave, ( the first in 17 years), I left the organisation.

Pros

Good friends

Cons

Indifference to peoples Health!!!

Demanding without being rewarding and recognising

Registered Nurse (Former Employee) - London - 2 October 2021

No encouragement to growLooks like they want you to work and keep patients happy and not caring about your happiness. Not acting seriously on medication errors or patient abuse incidents. Demanding organisation (NHS ) without any recognisition or reward.

Pros

Multiple choices in terms of specialities and good options for working exposure

Cons

Favoritism, indifference for development although this is an NHS problem

Stressful and lack of support

Continuously busy. Learned nothing. Senior management very poor. Culture in workplace is worsened by certain management supporting some not all staff. Favouritism. Lack of management and supervisor support.
