King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust Employee Review

Great place to learn, teaching quality excellent

Band 5 Staff Nurse (Former Employee) - denmark hill - 21 June 2021

A really good place to learn and be familiar with the latest evidence based practice. Technology in health really good, safety is a priority. If you want to learn and put in practice your nursing skills supported by technology and autonomy Kings is the right place to be. Nursing in Kings is tough job but people and your colleagues make everything easier. Not everyone will be a sweet candy as in any other job. I found working for Kings College as the best experience I had in nursing. Please apply do not hesitate to gain the experience to work for one of the best Hospitals in London.

Pros

learning, training, nursing skills, Technology, people, values

Cons

shortage in nursing workfoce, move to other wards constantly

Exhausting

Staff Nurse (Former Employee) - Camberwell - 11 October 2022

Cliquey, bullied by colleagues. Unreasonable expectations during heatwave. Management don’t care when your struggling with workload. Upper management can be helpful in resolving issues. Great place if we weren’t under so much pressure.

Fast pace that is demanding incongruent to their staff ratios. They expect to do more with a few heads.

Staff Nurse (Current Employee) - Ruskin Wing - 8 January 2022

Poorly managed. Not uniform with other areas. Other areas are managed well, like their staff rooms, no designated sleeping quarters for night staff compared to other trusts, some are just physically there but not doing the work. Poor when it comes to resolution and solving root cause of the problems (e.g. infection control, broken communication with staff, etc.).Resources are being wasted.
