We are pleased to share some encouraging news from Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust, reflecting the dedication and excellence of our healthcare staff. According to the latest NHS Staff Survey, our Trust has achieved exceptional results across numerous categories, ranking as the top acute Trust in England in over twelve different areas.
The NHS Staff Survey is a comprehensive tool used across the national health service to assess staff experiences and workplace wellbeing. By participating annually, our Trust gains valuable insights into staff satisfaction, engagement, and perceptions of the work environment, which in turn helps us to continually improve and uphold high standards of care.
This year’s survey highlights our success in areas such as employee health and wellbeing, feeling valued by colleagues and leadership, and the ability for staff to influence positive changes within the Trust. Such results are a testament to our ongoing commitment to supporting our dedicated healthcare professionals and fostering a positive workplace culture.

Understanding the Role of an Acute Trust
If you’re unfamiliar with NHS terminology, an “acute trust” refers to a healthcare organization that provides secondary care services. This includes urgent and emergency care (such as Accident & Emergency departments), surgical procedures, outpatient clinics, and other specialized medical services essential for delivering comprehensive patient care.
We remain committed to maintaining and enhancing the quality of services we provide, and these survey results are a positive reflection of our staff’s hard work and dedication. We thank all our team members for their continuous efforts to deliver outstanding healthcare to our community.
Stay tuned for more updates on how Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust continues to excel in its mission to serve patients with compassion, professionalism, and excellence.
