Supporting our NHS staff

At Barts Charity, we believe that caring for our NHS staff members is a powerful way to improve healthcare for everyone.

On an average day, 7,250 people walk through the doors of a Barts Health hospital at some of the most important moments in their lives. NHS staff are there through it all – providing expert care, supporting recovery, and offering kindness when it matters most.

Supporting the wellbeing, motivation and recognition of Barts Health staff is a key part of our strategy. When staff feel valued, they deliver better care – something research consistently links to improved patient outcomes and staff retention.

How are we supporting NHS staff?

Since 2022, we’ve invested £3.2 million in supporting the recognition, wellbeing and support of Barts Health staff, including these transformational projects below...

Barts Hearts - recognising NHS staff
“Barts Hearts has been a fantastic tool which allows staff to send messages of support to colleagues. Around a third of staff use the platform weekly and they have told us it helps boost morale and makes them feel recognised in their job.”
