Such an inspiring talk, reflecting on leadership parallels within Emergency Medicine and the NHS as an organisation. Thanks again @TomSharpe134
We kicked off the day with a fantastic talk from @TomSharpe134 our key note speaker. He has been sharing his experiences of Mayday in the Magellan and his leadership lessons. Lots of parallels we can apply to working in the NHS

This resonates for so many reasons! A bit like corporate wellbeing approaches....🤦‍♀️
I have been asked for advice about improving organisational culture. My view? DON'T start by setting up a "culture change" programme or a direct "culture" intervention. Culture gets changed when people start doing real work differently. Culture change is a byproduct of wider improvements. See for instance: hbswk.hbs.edu/item/to-change…. Via @HBSWK

Atlas joined us in ED today as part of our staff wellbeing forum. A massive thanks to him and his owner who is also one of our nurses. So many smiles and tail wagging! @PHTChildED @PHU_NHS @PetsAsTherapyUK

My 7 year old's response when I said I need a holiday..."let your brain have a chill and not worry about what the government makes you do". He meant my work, he meant the NHS....he's not wrong...roll on that holiday!

A fantastic day of multidisciplinary learning focusing on team debrief in #PEMWessex. Such an important part of what we do and crucial to look after our teams @CChaseUk @ashleyjt72 @RCBroomfield @SimWessex @premi
Last week, our #actorroleplayers took on intense roles during a session w/ @CChaseUk & @SotonChildHosp to support emergency teams in their post-incident debriefing sessions. Our goal is to provide valuable assistance in these clinically sensitive situations.

Another great day at the #TraumaCareConference looking at staff mental health. I've come away with so many ideas plus the evidence to back them up @andreafralph we need to debrief over coffee soon!

Once good enough to have a national "clapp" as "heroes"......there are no words for this abominable messaging from our government
It's quite something when a government appears to celebrate tearing apart the families of international care workers. Only investment in services will deliver for patients, not anti-migrant politics.

Before you do wellbeing workshops, team building exercises, thank you cards & gifts… …staff need to be able to eat, sleep, get changed with dignity, access a computer & be able to go to the toilet Put basic needs in place first & then build upon it

As an alternative perspective, I feel incredibly privileged to work with both ACPs and consultant nurses in the ED. They are amazing people who bring a depth and wealth of experience to our team. Short-sighted tribalism is damaging to us and our patients #EM #PEM #ACPs

Still buzzing from the BEST two days of fun combined with awesome CPD, excellent teamwork and a step closer to overcoming my fear of public speaking. Thanks to each of our fab PEM trainees and ACPs who ALL worked their socks off to make this happen! @CChaseUk #PREMIERWessex
Never been so gutted not to have attended a conference- literally EVERYTHING I have seen and heard from friends and colleagues about @Premierwessex has been amazing feedback. You have smashed it!! Well done everyone involved. @CChaseUk @CrystalCollings

So proud to be a part of this crucial work. Something we are often not trained for and easily overlook. Watch this space for more work with debrief training in the future. Collaborating with the awesome @CChaseUk #PEM #PREMIERWessex
