.Michael Brennan you’re pretty damn inspirational & an absolute force of nature for SWBH_ED & SWB NHS Trust we’re lucky to have you 😊🥰

Healthcare professionals wanting to know more about human factors often ask me ‘where do I start?’

It’s a huge subject but I suggest thinking about 3 things:

How can I improve my own performance?

How can we improve team working?

How can my organisation improve patient safety?

Peter Brennan “Where do I start?”
Consider reading this free paper….& look at table 9- >100 strategies that are tried & tested…
- some can be done tomorrow without asking for permission
- some likely to need weeks/months and buy-in from colleagues/your organisation

It is rare if ever for any leader to admit they have got it wrong

As well to show they are listening

Thank you Amanda Pritchard for doing so & respect where due

Appreciated name check-but simply using the privilege to speak for many

Let’s improve workforce morale together

The response of NHS Practitioner Health when I was a GP compared to the laughable 'support' offered to me as a hospital based trainee is why I am alive.

The absolute shocking disdain shown by NHS England to it's medical staff tells you all you need to know about how it views doctors.

Good morning to all relevant and responsible in NHS England NHS England Workforce, Training and Education

Please do NOT dismiss the NHS Practitioner Health issue as a “small social media debate”

👉🏽Do the right thing
👉🏽Reinstate the service
👉🏽Show the relevant leadership-for once

Thank you
