The feedback I have received from colleagues across the country confirms that the Bradford Factor continues to undermine morale within the NHS. We must prioritize a system that values the well-being of staff as much as the care provided to patients.

I was grieving loss of my mother and they can't even record bereavement as it's not on their drop down menu for list of absences!
Its wrong, punitive, puts you under undue stress and factors in nothing human or personal about an employees circumstances. It might as well be monitored and administrated by a computer algorithm such is its lack of ability to record a persons real sickness.
I am a migraine sufferer, I am under constant review because of this. single days off make your sick score very high! It's an unfair system to people with genuine illnesses.
It is a big brother bully tactic . If your ill your ill. nobody wants to be unwell
Where do these numbers come from and how are they calculated? A bullying system in my opinion. People who work in the Nhs are prone to catching all sorts of viruses & diseases as they are in contact with the general public more than 30 hours per week. Get rid of it!!!

I triggered the Bradford last year following a broken wrist. Although this was caused by a chronic condition and I was struggling to dress myself, let alone work, I still had to have an informal interview and received a letter threatening me with escalation if my record didn't improve. The Bradford Factor treats people as if they're skiving when they have genuine reasons for being off work.
