Fewer than a quarter of doctors at Manx Care would recommend it as a place to work, a new survey has found.
The annual Culture of Care Barometer Survey reveals a damning picture of low morale.
Over 60% of responding doctors disagreed that the trust listens to staff views and just 13% see evidence of good senior leadership.
While most feel respected by colleagues, only a quarter believe they have the resources needed and just over a third feel they have the time to do their jobs well.
Little Improvement
Dr Prakash Thiagarajan, Chair of the Isle of Man Medical Society, said: “Once again, we are seeing survey results that tell us very little is improving in Manx Care.
“Less than a third of those who replied feel proud to work for Manx Care and less than a fifth believe that unacceptable behaviours are dealt with consistently.
“People on the Isle of Man should not be cared for by doctors who are demoralised and we should not have a health service staffed by doctors who do not believe they are valued by senior leaders at Manx Care.”
He confirmed the Society has “started a dialogue with Teresa Cope, the Chief Executive of Manx Care to ask how these issues will be addressed”.
The BMA’s Chair of Council, Dr Tom Dolphin, is due to meet with Isle of Man government ministers and doctors later today.
