Their website states they have 1.4 million employees, but the downside of a workforce this large (besides the wage bill!), is that interconnectivity can be a problem, especially within the healthcare sector, where conversations must be held efficiently and securely.
The ability to do virtual clinics and online meetings provides NHS staff with the collaboration needed to ensure the NHS can keep up with the increasing demand from today’s society.
NHS Workforce Statistics report approximately 189,000 of NHS employees work in London. According to NHS Employers, NHS London treated 1.4 million inpatients in 2015, a number which is increasing. 24% of NHS specialist services for cancer, heart disease, neurology and neurosurgery are provided from London, so the time these employees have is especially important.
NHS Employers state the average commute for an NHS worker in central London is 26 miles, which is predicted to rise to 30 miles by 2020. If a consultant has to travel between hospitals within the city, this adds extra travelling time to their day.
For example, a 30 mile journey into London takes approximately 50 minutes by train according to Google Maps and there is a 25 minute commute between King’s College Hospital and National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery. If a consultant had a 50 minute journey to and from work, a 25 minute journey each way for a meeting in another hospital, this is 150 minutes per day simply travelling. Doing this 5 days a week, makes 12.5 hours per week.
