Were you bullied working for NHS Highland?

NHS Highland has launched a questionnaire for past and present members of its workforce across Argyll and Bute to try and discover the extent of bullying, harassment and inappropriate behaviour people have experienced during their employment.

A market research organisation called Progressive Partnership has been brought in to design and carry out what NHS Highland is calling a culture review and report back on the findings.

Fiona Hogg, director of human resources for NHS Highland, said: ‘The questionnaire has been designed around the needs of Argyll and Bute, as per the suggestion in the Sturrock Report, and is open to NHS Highland colleagues, past and present, from the area.

‘The findings will help NHS Highland to ensure it takes the right action to encourage reporting and address the causes of bullying and inappropriate behaviour.’ The easily accessible online questionnaire can be filled in from a phone, tablet or personal computer and it will be open for six weeks.

Progressive Partnership will be collating all the information received from the questionnaire and it is anticipated the final report will be published in late April.

The questionnaire will stay open until Friday March 27 and can be accessed online at https://bit. ly/2vJ6UU3
