NHS reviews

Very poor parking situation, huge waiting list to get an onsite parking space for staff which means shift workers are expected to finish shifts late at night and walk alone to their cars off site in Blackpool in the pitch black. Bench shifts are paid at the standard rate which is astounding considering they expect you to work normal full time hours and technically work over time for the same standard rate. Unsustainable pressures which affect the whole NHS meaning that acute wards are often left dangerously short staffed. Recent weather mixed with no air con also meant that working areas were far too hot to work , leaving staff feeling unwell, yet being told that ‘nothing can be done’. Poor training opportunities and even if you are able to get onto a course you’re not able to attend due to clinical areas being chronically short staffed!

Pressure on services due to cuts and precarious funding. The draconian approach to sick leave from management. Bot enough support for staff to avoid burn out.
