It’s time to #TalkAboutFlex
Flexible working can help us all make the NHS work better. Flexible roles make it easier to attract people to work in NHS jobs, and improve wellbeing for existing staff, so they don’t need to leave. Ultimately, it all adds up to better patient care.
The NHS unions are leading this campaign to help inspire staff and managers across the health service to start a conversation about flexible working, and find the flex that works for them.
Use this site to find out more about flexible working rights, different options, and how people are finding the joy of flex in the NHS right now. And back our pledge to Get Ahead on Flex and make sure that every NHS employee has a consistent, positive experience of flexible working.
