East Cheshire NHS Trust confirm “Kindness Continued” following 2025 Staff Survey Results

12 March 2026

Newly published results from the 2025 NHS Staff Survey have confirmed that East Cheshire NHS Trust (ECT) remains the kindest place to work in the North West.  

‘Colleagues have been really engaged wanting to share how much progress they have made as a team and the improvements’

The Trust recorded strong levels of professional trust and clarity as colleagues indicated that they feel empowered and trusted to do their jobs, with a clear understanding of their specific responsibilities. 

The results reflect a collaborative environment where we saw a positive increase in people promise themes for ‘we are a team’ and ‘we work flexibly’ reflecting sense of purpose across the organisation, with many staff reporting they receive the respect they deserve from their peers. 

‘As a team, we appreciate how valuable it is for our members to have a voice’

As an organisation we will share the information and data across teams so they can understand the results, celebrate their successes and continue to work together to make our hospital a great place to work and receive care.
