I went to an interview for a v snr role at SLHT, at it's invitation, and was pannelled by three men wearing almost identical red braces and cartoon-character ties. Thought I had mistakenly gone to the financial quarter until they rejected my enquiries about costings,planning, and sustainability and then I knew I was after all in the NHS. Despite an armful of national awards for turnaround and financial effectiveness all won in the health sector, as well as a long but successful trackrecord in the NHS they said that I had displayed little understanding of the 'real environment'. And that I had commuicated some unwelcome tendancies to challenge their financial planning. Silly me. There has to be a safe way for staff to challenge - many of the replies on this article explain that they had felt unable to voice concerns from within and in sufficient time for corporate realignment to safely take place.
