Staff from Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust, which delivers services across Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Luton, Norfolk, Peterborough and Suffolk, have rated the Trust the best in the country.

Matthew Winn, Chief Executive explained:

“Today, the 2019 national NHS staff survey results have been published.  For the fourth year in a row, we have been rated best in the country compared to our peer organisations in 8 of the 11 themes.  This is due to the fabulous culture we have created with our dedicated staff across the whole organisation.  In the remaining three areas, we were also rated above the national average. 

“Coming hot on the heels of the Care Quality Commission rating the Trust Outstanding in 2019, this news reflects the amazing commitment of our staff to both their colleagues and service users.  I am incredibly proud to lead such an innovative and passionate workforce.

“Of course we are not complacent and we will continue to build on these fantastic results in future years.”

1334 members of staff completed the survey (a 60% response rate compared to a national average of 58%). The 8 themes where the Trust was rated ‘best in the country’ compared to comparator community organisations were:

• Health and wellbeing of staff
• Support from immediate managers
• Morale of staff
• Safe environment from bullying and harassment
• Safe environment from violence
• Safety culture
