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?”

Exactly. A lot of organisations are realising this just needs to be integral to every role rather than a highly paid standalone role

This is crucial. Enough properly trained midwives are the best hope we have. Proper expert history taking and antenatal monitoring together with informed care in labour and good post natal care for long enough would go a very long way.
