NHS organisations know high-quality patient care depends on having a supported, engaged, and resilient workforce. With continued pressure on recruitment and retention and staff wellbeing, creating a positive workplace experience remains a key priority across the health sector. 

As a part of the 10-Year Health Plan, the new  NHS staff standards have been introduced to help create more positive, consistent workplace experiences across the NHS. This covers key areas such as health and wellbeing, flexible working, effective line management, workplace safety and inclusion, the standards reflect a growing focus on making the NHS a place where staff feel valued, supported, and able to thrive. By prioritising staff experience alongside operational performance, NHS organisations can help build a more resilient workforce and support the delivery of high-quality care.
