The 2020 #NHSStaffSurvey has some of the most striking changes I can remember - both positive and negative. Some highlights follow in this thread: [1/n]

Overall, staff morale has held firm or improved on a number of key measures. Willingness to recommend one's organisation as a place to work has improved by a whopping 3.5% points year-on-year. For a survey of this size, that's a massive change.

Perhaps surprisingly, there were also major improvements around workload and resources, including a 6.0% increase in the % saying there are enough staff for them to do their jobs properly. There was also a small drop in unpaid overtime.

This year there are new questions about Covid, so we can see how staff have been affected by the pandemic:
- 34.2% worked on a Covid ward/area
- 18.5% were redeployed
- 36.0% were required to work remotely/from home
- 10.4% have been shielding
#NHSStaffSurvey 2020 [4/n]

Only 1/3 staff (33.4%) feel their trust 'definitely' takes positive action on health and wellbeing - although this has improved by 4.1% pts since 2019.

Work-related stress has increased: 44.0% said they had felt unwell due to this in the last 12 months vs 40.3% in 2019. The biggest increases were for reg nursing and midwifery (+5.0%) and nursing/healthcare assistants (+6.0%).

#NHSStaffSurvey 2020 [5/n]

Almost half (49.6%) of staff on Covid wards reported feeling unwell due to work-related stress in the past 12 months.

#NHSStaffSurvey 2020 [7/n]

Pay satisfaction has declined overall (prior to recent announcements). But strikingly pay satisfaction has risen 1.7% for non-patient facing staff and fallen 3.9% for staff with regular face-to-face contact.

#NHSStaffSurvey 2020 [8/n]

So far, the pandemic has not led to an increase in intention to leave the NHS - and this is true for almost all occupational groups. BUT - the survey was conducted in October & November, before the surge in cases and admissions over winter.

#NHSStaffSurvey 2020 [9/n]

I could go on, but will wrap up here for now. Please take some time to dive into the results - there is so much depth here and the NHS owes it to the almost 600,000 respondents to explore the detail and act.
