Some fantastic individual staff
The NSFT as an organisation is disjointed, lacks communication between different teams, and simply can not cope with the demand for services. Within the teams I have met some amazing staff who are passionate about their work and really care about improving services. I have also found others who are disheartened, exhausted and have lost the compassionate elements of their role. There is often a long wait for services as the organisation doesn’t run ‘smoothly’ or communicate to create a more productive service. Compared to other trusts I have met, worked with or been a service user within, NSFT if unfortunately trailing far behind.
