Ongoing Frustrations in the NHS Pt (2)- Avoiding the Blame Game.
Posted by admin on Mar 13th, 2013 in News.Working in the NHS- I know it’s always someone’s fault. Managers never seem to understand why I can’t do everything now- or yesterday. And I can’t seem to ever understand why they think telling me something is ‘urgent’ will make it more possible to get it done… it just adds pressure and raises stress levels at work.
Currently, the NHS, is in the news- like never before. In particular it concerns failing standards at a particular NHS Trust; Managers there were more concerned with ‘fiddling’ targets so that it makes the hospital ‘look’ good- rather than listening to Staff and Patient regular and consistent concerns about poor staffing (leading to poor clinical care). This of course leads to staff frustration and stress levels rising.

So, you have an idea what you want to achieve in 2013…but can’t quite put it into words… but it’s there. Does this sound familiar?

For those of us who work in busy, hectic environments, the sound of stressed out people is everywhere!

Posted by admin on Aug 24th, 2012 in News.As happens in work environments where people are not only busy, but also passionate about what they do, disagreements can occur. And this is healthy.
