Abstract

Retention of OTs in mental health had been falling in one trust, with as many as 75 per cent of senior-2 posts becoming vacant during one year. OTs surveyed cited their most popular reason for leaving a post as no career development and their most popular reason for staying as working in mental health. The survey has been used to improve trust retention strategies, using information on each grade to meet the specific needs of those groups.

Medical secretaries. Making the grade.

A review of the role of medical secretaries in a surgical directorate has reduced turnover among this group to zero. Previously the directorate had difficulty with recruitment and often had to rely on agency staff. The review led to the introduction of the new post of business coordinator, and all medical secretaries in the directorate have now achieved this level. The review led to an expanded role for medical secretaries which has increased their job satisfaction.

Cancer services. Left to chance.

Most primary care groups/trusts have cancer lead posts and have some involvement in planning and commissioning cancer services. Cancer is not a high priority in comparison to other national service frameworks and the transition to PCT status. PCG/Ts want help and information about developing cancer services but not all want this now. Most PCG/Ts have some involvement in cancer networks but information needs exist about their role and potential.
