Pros

Good training from other staff Plenty of overtime offered Natural teamwork amongst staff on wards Ability to study and acquire nursing degree as a career option

Cons

A lot of agency who are unable to partake in some of the duties, means there’s an imbalance of how hard some staff are working compared to others - mainly on night shift Rotas sometimes delayed making it hard to plan personal life around work

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for your commitment during your time at Priory. We’re pleased to hear that you found the training, teamwork, and career development opportunities, particularly the support towards nursing progression, to be positive aspects of your experience. We appreciate your honest comments regarding the use of agency staff and the impact this can have on workload. This is an area we continue to review as part of our wider workforce planning. We also recognise the importance of timely rota distribution and understand how delays can affect work–life balance. Your suggestion around supporting new starters to rotate across wards during their probation period is valued and has been shared with local management, as building confidence and familiarity across teams is essential for both staff wellbeing and patient care.

Pros

Met some of the hardest working and resilient staff I have ever had the ensure to work with! That's all I can think of...

Cons

Not sure where to start with this... worked at the Priory Hospital Bristol for almost two years - most definitely the worst years of my work life. This place has left me damaged not only professionally but also on a personal level. The appalling management and treatment of their employees is beyond any body's comprehension.... It is so bad that it's actually impossible to describe. You have to live it to believe it and even then you will be questioning your mind thinking am I the crazy one here or is the whole hospital mad? surprised how they're still open and running.....
