Call for health worker support with concerns over 'lost mojo'

Health bosses were grilled by councillors and health professionals at a meeting of the joint health scrutiny board held at Shirehall this week.

In response Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust strategy director Nigel Lee said they had put significant investment into supporting staff, and were still recruiting in a “controlled” way to key clinical roles, despite the announcement of a partial recruitment freeze earlier this year. “I think we know, and it was absolutely epitomised during Covid... Some of the pressures people have been under have been significant. I know that there has been significant investment and focus in staff psychology services because it’s been really important to support those staff and also then to help them at both an individual and team level.

In March, Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust announced a recruitment freeze for non-critical roles as part of efforts to deal with a “significant financial deficit” of around £91million.
