Feeling inspired after a great webinar by @StevenShorrock for @HISQIConnect on realities of work - inspired to continue my journey as an HF specialist in healthcare and continue supporting others to learn HF tools and skills through the great programmes at @Aqua_NHS

Working in partnership with people, understanding their motivations, values and preferences, to keep everyone safe, well and fulfilled is what matters to me #WMTY2022
Join the conversation #wmty22 What Matters To You is a global movement to open a dialogue between people using services, carers & those providing care. “What matters to you?” is a simple question that can have a big impact on care. @RachelBryers @EmmaCherub #WhatMattersToYou

As a #GP at sharp edge of implementing #nhs10yearplan from last year. We REALLY DON’T need structural reform. We need stability/consistency, to build trust, and collaboration. This is about people, and shared vision, not command and control. @rcgptheguardian.com/society/2020…

I'm really pleased to be having lots of conversations with teams wanting to make sure that person centred care is a priority as we work to get #backtobetter

At the moment, sometimes I feel so emotionally exhausted, in limbo, & with no obvious solutions or ways to rest. Then other times I feel really energised; alongside others, connecting in a caring space, & creating a sense of possibility for who knows what. Tired, & wide awake.

Exactly this. We used the #wellbeing huddle guide that we shared in our @AQuA_NHS #KXLearningLab this morning; for me it was emotional, cathartic and powerful. I didn't expect fixing but I valued the space to express myself. I am blessed to work with a brilliant, kind, funny team
It helps me to share how I'm feeling, & what's on my mind. I know there's a risk; you might feel unsure of how to 'help' me. But I have no expectation of you 'fixing' me. Maybe all the help I need is to be heard, hear myself out loud. To be alongside you. #SpacesForListening

What went well today? @Peter_Ledwith shares our recently developed tool to support teams with their wellbeing huddle. It's not always about asking lots of questions, its about asking the right ones. #psychologicalsafety #KXLearninglabs

Absolutely agree with this - there is no 100% safe option. We need to consider the balance of all risks, which is not an easy or simple thing to do and I think it's a good start to at least discuss that more openly blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2020/06/02…

I've been thinking about the gap between principles & practices, especially wrt the current moment. Principles: we can memorize them with great intent, believe & advocate for them with all sincerity. Practices take practice. Practices are hard. That's why they're powerful.
