Benefits for Patients
• Services delivered in line with recognised standards of
clinical best practice
• Not admitting to hospital when care can be provided as a
day case
• Patients spend less time in hospital and are discharged
more promptly
• Expert treatment and care provide the best possible
outcomes for patients
• Continued excellent infection control rates
Implications for Staff
• As services become more efficient fewer posts required 470 posts have been identified as at risk
• Trust doesn’t want to lose experienced staff - aim is to
redeploy people wherever possible
• Compulsory redundancy will be action of last resort
• In areas where the posts are at risk there are currently
320 vacancies
• Where possible, Trust has not replaced staff who have
left over past few months and has reduced use of
temporary staff
• Redeployment bureau set up to help staff find alternative
employment in Trust or wider NHS
• Employee assistance programme provides telephone
support 24/7 and one-one counselling sessions
Staff Consultation
Current position:
• 90-day staff consultations launched in Finance and
Divisional Management on 27th May
• Staff briefings held to present proposed new structures
• Staff given information on how to obtain advice and
support
Next steps:
• Further areas will be affected
• Other staff groups will begin process as soon as new
structures available for consultation
• Staff will feed back comment on new structures,
suggestions considered and changes made to proposed
structures
• New structures in place at the end of 90 days
• Displaced staff redeployed/helped to find alternative
employment
