NHS staff do not recommend their own hospitals

We wouldn't want family treated at OUR hospital say a third of NHS staff

Nearly a third of NHS workers said they were thinking about leaving their jobs
15 per cent of staff said they had been subjected to bullying or harassment
45 per cent say staff shortages stop them doing their jobs properly

One in three NHS staff would be unhappy to have their relatives treated in the hospital where they work, a survey reveals. Only 64 per cent said they would be happy with the standard of care provided by their health trust if their relative needed treatment.
Experts believe that asking staff if they would be happy for themselves or relatives to be treated at their own hospital is an important way of assessing standards.

Doctors, nurses, radiographers and administrators were among the 165,000 staff questioned in England by the Care Quality Commission, the regulatory watchdog, in 388 trusts between October and December last year.
