Managing the process of a merger with staff support and job counselling reduces stress. But the experience is not pain-free. The expectation that senior staff would be found other jobs in the NHS proved unrealistic. From a total staff of 6,000 there were 38 redundancies, of which 13 were voluntary. Early retirement and redundancy costs were higher than expected. Staff still show signs of distress a year after the merger took place.
Bullying remains a familiar part of the health professional culture, despite the caring nature of doctors' work. Trainee doctors who feel threatened in the clinical workplace develop less effectively and are less likely to ask for advice or help when they need it. Most people who bully are not intrinsically bad people, but they must be helped to change, in the interests of patients as well as staff.
