The seven elements of the People Promise have come from national staff engagement activities. Staff working in various healthcare roles, in a range of healthcare settings, identified the things that matter to them most in improving their experiences in the work that they do.

The NHS People Promise is also aligned to the NHS Staff Survey and the NHS General Practice Staff Survey (GPSS). This is to help measure how staff experience impacts on their working lives.  All staff employed by the NHS are invited to take part in the annual staff survey.

In order to deliver on the NHS People Promise Plan, NHS England has commissioned People Promise Managers in NHS organisations throughout the UK. STSFT has been successful in becoming part of the NHS People Promise Exemplar Programme – Cohort two. Our People Promise Manager will be delivering a staff engagement focused NHS People Promise Action Plan. This plan will help us drive forward local work to improve the working lives of colleagues at STSFT. If you have any questions, queries, suggestions or ideas, contact: stsft.people-promise@nhs.net.
