Workforce performance and what this means for our communities

We value our workforce immensely; they are our greatest asset and essential in providing high-quality services to our patients and their carers. We know that when staff are more engaged, there is evidence of better patient care and higher levels of patient satisfaction.

Over the last few years, we have seen our vacancy rate improve alongside our staff engagement and experience. Through this, we have significantly reduced our staff turnover.

This section provides an overview of our workforce during the reporting period.
