Annual Staff Survey
Page Contents
The annual NHS Staff Survey is one of the largest workforce surveys in the world. The survey is an official statistic, run independently of NHS England and to the highest standards of quality and accuracy. Contributions are confidential and anonymous.
The feedback received gives a really accurate picture of what it’s like to work in the NHS, as well as our own organisation, to make things better for you, your colleagues, and our patients and service users.
The data is publicly available on the NHS Staff Survey website and is well used by a wide range of organisations and teams, including HRDs and subject matter experts in the local NHS, NHS England (such as temporary staffing, retention), and equality and health inequalities teams, staff experience leads, CQC, staff networks, Workforce Race Equality Standard, Workforce Disability Equality Standard, Freedom To Speak Up and National Guardians Office, Social Partnership Forum, and the Pay Review Body. It is important that our NHS people from all backgrounds and experiences take part as we each have a voice that counts.
How the survey aligns to the People Promise
The People Promise sets out, in the words of our NHS people, the things that would most improve our working experience – like health and wellbeing support, opportunities to work flexibly, and to feel we all belong, whatever our background or our job.
