THE trust that manages Leighton Hospital in Crewe has been named as one of the top employers within the NHS.
Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (MCHFT) was named by the Health Service Journal, the Nursing Times and NHS Employers as one of the top 120 places to work for within the NHS.
The trust, which also manages Victoria Infirmary in Northwich and Elmhurst Intermediate Care Centre in Winsford, is now in the top 25 per cent of NHS organisations.
Tracy Bullock, MCHFT chief executive, said: “To have been named as one of the best places to work is a great achievement for us, especially when you take into account that there are more than 450 NHS organisations in England alone.
“This is backed up by the findings of the latest NHS staff survey in which we were named in the top 20 per cent of all acute trusts for the number of staff recommending us as a place to work or receive treatment.
“Being named amongst the best nationally, alongside us being one of only a handful of trusts to have been rated as ‘good’ by the Care Quality Commission, is deserved recognition for the dedication, skill and hard work that our 3,500 members of staff show every day in order to continually deliver excellent care to our local population.”
