Pointless NHS Roles

I am an ex-NHS worker. (Department administrator)

Is it unreasonable to think there are so many pointless corporate/non-clinical roles within the NHS. Mainly high up and middle management roles. Examples:

  • Events organisers
  • Workforce & Organisational Development Leads
  • Strategy Leads
  • PR/Photographers/Marketing
  • Improvement and Culture/Diversity teams
  • Roster coordinators
  • PMO

Obviously there are non-clinical roles that are essential for the runnings of the NHS. But are a lot of them really needed? I remember seeing all the high up corporate staff thinking “what exactly do you actually do?”

Rostering for one ward used to take a Band 7 2 days a month. Now a Band 3 does it full time for a whole department. Money well spent.
