NHSE quizzing trust’s staff over serious culture and safety concerns
NHS England and commissioners are visiting a mental health trust’s services to ask its staff about concerns over safety, communication, and culture, HSJ has learned.
The unusual move for NHSE to speak directly to staff at Black Country Healthcare Foundation Trust, taking place today, comes during a long-running dispute between the provider and its medical consultant group.
NHSE’s Midlands team has been sent several letters in recent months, by anonymous groups of BCHFT staff, raising a range of serious issues.
