But Stockport said that of the 30 questions included in the annual survey, responses for 27 of them had “significantly improved”.
He put a slight decrease in the number of doctors knowing who their line manager was, down to a restructure aimed at ensuring “the medical voice was more prominent”.
“My focus this year has been about making sure the clinical voice is heard in the senior parts of the organisation and that it reflects what colleagues in Manx Care feel,” said Stockport.
“We recognise there is room for improvement in making sure all our clinicians have an active say in our priorities as an organisation, because without the clinical voice, you don’t make the same decisions in a healthcare organisation.”
Changes include appointing a number of clinical directors, and plans to establish a “professional senate” early this year.
