We want to build a strong, positive organisational culture, based on values. Leaders often set out abstract absolute positives as organisational values (integrity, respect, trust etc) but these don't drive the day-to-day decision-making (& therefore the behaviour) of the people at work. Therefore, they have no impact on the actual culture. @ErinMeyerINSEAD has undertaken research on organisational culture for two decades & suggests six actions for making values-based culture come alive: 1) Build your culture based on real-world dilemmas: identify the tough dilemmas that people routinely face and clearly state how they should be resolved, in line with the stated values. 2) Move your culture from abstraction to action: “dilemma-test” your values to determine if they are actionable enough to be useful in real decision-making situations. 3) Paint your culture in full colour: articulate your desired culture using concrete, colourful images to get the values to stick. 4) Recruit people whose values fit: “bad” behaviour is contagious. 5) Let culture drive strategy: identify your strategic objective & use dilemmas so people understand what decisions they should be making to move the organisation in the right direction. 6) Don’t be a “values” purist: Identify dilemmas in which your stated values do not apply. hbr.org/2024/07/build-a-corp… Graphic by @julianstodd

What a team! Thank you for all our nurses do to keep people at home xx

Privileged to work with some of the best!

Congratulations to all the finalists. I was lucky to be a judge for one of the categories: many inspiring stories all worthy of recognition. Special mention to the two pharmacy team finalists: digital and Community Mental Health 👏🏻🌟 and to George the porter, always smiling 👏🏻🌟

bgs.org.uk/resources/preferr… Food for thought. The use of appropriate language not only in verbal communication but written as well. Have seen a number of these terms used over the years. Acopia always bothered me in acute when given as reason for admission 🙁

What a way to destress after a hard day at the office. Well done team!

Saw this image earlier and it really resonated. Do we need to slow down to help us go faster? A strong foundation, helps us build for the future.

'10 days in hospital for a person over 80 is the equivalent of 10 years of deconditioning.' The #ActiveRecovery pilot @LCHNHSTrust is improving patient outcomes, getting people out of hospital faster and keeping them at home. Watch the full film #RightToRehab @RCOT

Great opportunity

Most people think of patient facing roles being only Doctors and Nurses. However, there’s a whole other group called Allied Health Professionals (AHPs). There’s 14 groups that work side by side with us to provide the best care for patients.

I fully and wholeheartedly agree!!! I have been looking, listening and scoping the processes and pathways over the last 5 weeks and it’s been truly invaluable. Glad to have had the support to allow me that time, #slowdowntogofaster @LianneMcInally1 @gibbieahplcr @Alistair_ahp
