Worst experience in a 10+ year NHS Career - Anonymous employee Moorfields Eye Hopsital Employee Review

There is most definitely a bullying culture within Moorfields - from lower banded roles all the way up to senior management. I was bullied by a senior manager who happened to be my line manager, resulting in a period of ill health - I did not feel that the trust offered adequate support for me to raise my concerns. I am of the opinion that senior members of staff across the trust [whether it be corporate or operational] are complicit in covering up bullying behaviour from their senior colleagues and not taking allegations seriously for fearing that it could rock the boat. When I felt I could finally speak up, I was offered mediation! Mediation to sit in a room with someone who had made me feel psychically unwell and put me in a period of bad health - I did not feel, and still do not feel, that my concerns have been taken seriously. Job roles are vacated by staff moving but are not open to applicants - staff are being moved into roles without interviewing. Services are sent out to private companies rather than retaining in house - medical records and catering for two examples. Medical records are now off site in the midlands and take 24 hours to access at the very minimum, rather than being on site and can be accessed in a number of minutes
