Teams within South Lanarkshire University Health and Social Care Partnership and the vaccination service are currently taking part in this year’s cycle of iMatter and are being asked to complete them by Monday 8 July.
The purpose of using the iMatter staff experience tool is to help individuals, teams, directorates, health and social care partnerships and health boards understand, celebrate and work together to improve staff experience. Evidence shows that the better the experience of staff at work, the better the experience of patients and their families.
iMatter is designed to help line managers understand what it is like for their staff as an individual at work, in their teams and in NHS Lanarkshire.
In a video, Professor Soumen Sengupta, chief officer, South Lanarkshire University Health and Social Care Partnership, addresses staff within the South Partnership and vaccination service to explain the purpose of completing their iMatter questionnaire and to encourage staff to take part.
Staff can take just 10 minutes out of their day to fill in their questionnaire, completed anonymously. The completed questionnaires will then be processed by an external company making it totally confidential.
Completing the questionnaire – online, on paper or by SMS (test message) – allows staff the chance to give feedback on, and be involved in, influencing change and improvement in their workplace.
Please take the time to fill in the iMatter questionnaire by Monday 8 July. If you are in one of these groups of staff and have not received your questionnaire, please speak to your line manager.
