NHS Staff Survey results 2024

On 13 March 2025, NHS England (NHSE) published the annual NHS staff survey results, drawing on responses from 774,828 staff (2% up from 2023). This encompasses staff from 263 NHS organisations, including all 210 trusts. Since 2021, the survey questions have been aligned with the NHS People Promise.

The success metrics for a number of High Impact Actions (HIAs) in NHSE’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Improvement Plan are closely linked to the NHS Staff Survey. This is the secondset of national staff survey results published since the EDI plan was launched in summer 2023 and it will be important for trusts and NHS organisations to track their local results against the EDI plan in the years that follow. Like last year, we have indicated where an HIA is relevant throughout the briefing.
