The NHS have released the 2019 results of their annual Staff Survey.
Responding to the survey results, Dame Clare Marx, Chair of the General Medical Council, said:
‘Retaining the excellent healthcare professionals we already have must be the bedrock of our health services. These results underscore the need for a compassionate, well-led healthcare culture in which workplaces are supportive, fair and inclusive.
‘This year the GMC will work with others across the NHS to deliver the recommendations made in the series of independent reports published in 2019. That effort will focus on induction, support, and mentoring, as well as compassionate clinical leadership to reduce the impact which system pressures have on staff, and enable them to deliver excellent and safe patient care.’

About us
The General Medical Council (GMC) works to protect the public by setting, upholding and raising the standards of medical education and practice across the UK.
It does this by:
setting the standards doctors must follow, making sure they continue to meet these standards throughout their careers
deciding which doctors are qualified to work here, and overseeing UK medical education and training
taking action if a doctor is putting the safety of patients, or the public’s confidence in doctors, at risk.
The GMC is independent of government and the medical profession, and accountable to the UK Parliament.
It is in the public interest to have healthcare systems in the UK, both public and private, where doctors practise to the highest ethical and professional standards to provide the best possible, safe medical care.
