Practice Plus Standards:-

  • The PCT has demonstrated to staff the benefits of improving working lives and as a consequence staff feel more committed to the organisation
  • Effective partnership working which is building an involving and partnership culture for all Progress in implementing Agenda for Change
  • Local agreement to ensure inclusion of contractors, providing NHS services, including Primary Care Services and their staff in decisions within the organisation
  • Staff have the opportunity to give and receive information regarding the organisation
  • Staff are confident that their opinions are listened to and acted upon at an organisational, departmental, team and individual level

The Trust values the contribution of all its staff and wishes to provide a range of different mechanisms which will facilitate staff involvement in decision making, by obtaining a wider range of views and opinions and by encouraging new ideas. To this end, it is proposed to develop and extend existing communication mechanisms and to adopt a more inclusive and participative approach, which encourages a more active involvement of all staff in the life of the Trust. Creating a culture of greater co-operation and involvement will depend, to a great extent, on our individual commitment to effective partnership working, to good communication and, above all, to real teamwork.

If we all take part, listen to each other, feedback more often as part of our working lives, then - we'll make a difference.
