About

Annual staff surveys, regular Pulse surveys, and other engagement opportunities provide our staff with many ways to share their experiences. Recent survey results show:

• 72% of colleagues would recommend the Trust as a place to work, ranking us 1st among Provider Trusts in the South West.
• 76% would recommend the care provided if a friend or relative needed treatment, also ranking us 1st in the region.
• 81% prioritise patient and service user care, compared to an average of 64% in similar NHS Trusts.
