Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust Employee Review

Stressful environment- Research Department

Senior Research Administrator (Current Employee) - Truro - 6 October 2021

The Research Department at RCHT in Truro could be the most rewarding place to work, however it is grossly understaffed and the most stressful place I have worked. The three top senior management team have lead a bullying culture. A very new lead has started and time will tell if she has the ability to change things. The department operates against many of the values of RCHT and speaking up is not an option. I sorely hope things do change for the sake of all the staff.

Pros

Working in leading valuable clinical research

Cons

Hugely stressful environment with a management team with no business acumen

Healthcare Support Worker (Former Employee) - Truro - 10 June 2023

Great place to work with amazing, kind colleagues, however times are changing and wages and work life balance are being left behind. Very interesting and varied job that keeps you learning and in your toes.

Pros

Career. Always learning. You make a difference.

Cons

Long hours and nights. Poor wages.

Nurse (Current Employee) - Truro, Cornwall - 18 April 2023

Employed as a senior experienced nurse, all of my suggestions for improvement or change were ignored. Do not allow you to progress to higher bands unless your prepared to work full time

CIA Clinical Imaging Assistant Ultrasound (Former Employee) - Truro - 11 July 2022

If you have your feet under the table and have been there a while then your all set to boss the newbies around whilst you do nothing. If your new then expect all the hardest, dirtiest, most stressful jobs whilst others take the easy tasks for themselves. Management let the longest running staff members create own rotas so they basically get to do what they want, when they want. They also don’t train you properly but expect you to know what your doing anyway. Sonograhers were always lovely, CIA’s were NOT.
