Doctors Don't Trust Their Own Hospitals, even in Dorset?


Some very worrying responses!

The result for Dorchester County Hospital and NHS Foundation Trust  (one of 161 entries):

"If a friend or relative needed treatment I would be happy with the standard of care provided by this organisation"

Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust                       No                            56

See linked article for explanation of responses and ratings

I take it to mean that only 56% of those NHS staff consulted agreed or strongly agreed with the question, ie that they would be happy with the standard of care provided at Dorset County Hospital; in other words, up to 44% of those consulted would not (necessarily) recommend treatment there to friends and families...

The average of NHS staff across all NHS Trusts was 63%, according to the Telegraph.

This needs further analysis. It may be very misleading.
