"Very disappointed in how staffs get treated at..."

About: Moorfields Eye Hospital (City Road Campus) / Ophthalmology

So here’s my story, I’m a research patient and i have been so for almost a year what can I say I noticed some staffs being treated with no dignity, I have seen a member of staff working non stop from around the time they started to 3:30pm with no breaks or lunch, I had to give them my breakfast bar cause they almost fainted while testing me, even their co colleague a doctor brought them water cause they could see the member of staff was getting weaker, what’s more worrying is I made a complaint and wrote on the patient feedback which I hope is reaching where it needs to be but still can’t see improvements, as for my care I shall say it is simply one of the best, but sometimes seeing the sacrifices made by others is not fair, specially this member of staff who touched my heart, having worked as a Hr executive and retired now I would be really proud if they were my staff member but worried if my staffs were being so isolated and not being taken care of, in my observations I also noticed over the last 70 something weeks I have been attending that not a single of the managers or so called ( as we can see each of their photos on the wall ), they need to be on the ground helping and being in shoes of their staffs. Dear moorfield sort this out, get staffs treated fairly, as we patients also want to see happy smiling staffs.

Thank you for taking the time to post a comment and for your concern regarding a member of our staff. We do try to ensure that all our staff are cared for and are able to take their breaks and are able to work in an environment that allows them to give of their best. But we do recognise on occasion it can be very busy. Hopefully this was a rare exception as most staff seem to enjoy working at Moorfields and this is reflected in our annual staff survey. I have passed you comments on to our HR department and am grateful to you for brining this to our attention.
