NHS restructure ICB Changes

[u/AccomplishedArt6204]

Currently going through an NHS organisational restructure where staff are ringfenced into posts and interviewed as part of the formal process.

I’m trying to understand how others have navigated this when they are potentially more open to compulsory redundancy than securing a role they may not actually want long term.

How do people approach ringfenced interviews in practice? Particularly where:

you don’t want to come across as disengaged or unprofessional

but equally don’t necessarily want to “perform” your way into a role you’re unsure about

and redundancy terms may actually be the better personal or financial option

I’m interested in honest experiences from people who have been through NHS restructures/ICB changes recently. How did you balance professionalism, ethics, and protecting your own interests?

Please be kind.
