Staff engagement rose from 3.69 in 2014 to 3.78, just a shade off the national average, in 2015. More employees said they would recommend the Trust as a place to work and receive treatment.

Judges were “bowled over” by the app, which they said “demonstrably shifted behaviour and culture in clinical teams”.
