Nursing Ratios
Our staffing ratios on our wards are higher than the NHS. Our aim is to offer a safe and supportive working environment for our staff which will enable staff to have more time to interact with our patients, carers and their families and ultimately offer a higher quality of nursing care.

For those transferring directly from the NHS to work for us, Queenscourt will recognise reckonable service in relation to annual leave, occupational sick pay and salary.
