Please find attached the first national survey of NHS staff, which has highlighted bullying of employees and has been welcomed by the Amicus trade union, which has been campaigning for anti-bullying Ombudsmen in the NHS.
- Identify the current requirement for on-call across EI sites including identification of the key staff groups involved in provision of on-call services.
- Provide an understanding of the percentage of that staff group providing on-call services and the instance of on-call service by staff group.
- Identify emerging learning EI sites as staff are beginning to transfer onto Agenda for Change including agreements being reached, challenging aspects, areas that are working well etc…
- Identification of a timetable for actions that are being taken within the organisation
In addition the Best Practice Facilitators are collecting responses from EI sites in relation to unsocial hours. On-call and unsocial hours fall within the scope of the review of EI sites and both are issues that Amicus and other unions regard to be high priorities.
