Diane Hull, Chief Nurse now shares her story of why she became a nurse . "One day talking to friend, said going to an open day at a hospital for auxiliary nurses and she said come along, and I got the job. That is where it all began" #NottsHCnursing

Our ICS Speak Up month sessions ended on a high note yesterday, with our board members reflections on what listening up means to them. My take home, ‘listening is about not being defensive.’ @NottsHealthcare @Paul_BIMLtd @NatGuardianFTSU @Ifti_Majid @natasha_bowen20

A great move & very important that leaders role model an open and transparent speak up culture that promotes safety. #FreedomToSpeakUp is at the heart of overall cultural improvement. @NottsHealthcare @natasha_bowen20
We are delighted that @NHSEngland have included speaking up in their competency framework for leaders. This highlights the role of leaders in creating safe speaking up cultures, & that they speak up and challenge appropriately. nationalguardian.org.uk/2024… #SpeakUpListenUpFollowUp

We welcome the findings and recommendations in NHS England’s publication of their culture review of ambulance trusts. It echoes some of the desperate stories workers told us in our Speak Up review. Read the full statement from Dr Jayne Chidgey-Clark: nationalguardian.org.uk/2024…

Always heartwarming when leaders walk the talk! @NatGuardianFTSU
On Tuesday, @Ifti_Majid shadowed me on redwood 2 providing a mini teaching session to some learners within @NottsHealthcare. We had a great mini session and it was fantastic to hear how keen Ifti is to hear student feedback and support our learners!

Dr Jayne Chidgey-Clark responds to the publication of Too Hot to Handle, by @braphumanrights and @rogerkline Read her full response here: nationalguardian.org.uk/2024… #BreakingFTSUbarriers
Our latest report, authored by @JWmusesthis and @rogerkline is out today! In it, we argue the NHS is still falling short in tackling race discrimination, with a culture of defensiveness and minimization of racism in many trusts. See: brap.org.uk/post/toohottohan…
