Integrity is when you say the same things publicly that you say privately.

Love this 🤔🤔

Nurses are burning out. Sick time is off the charts. Many are retiring. Many are looking elsewhere for work. Some looking to leave the profession altogether. Recruiting is difficult & retention is a joke. Our beloved profession is broken.

If we have big goals & ambitions for improvement, we need a mindset & methods for experimentation & learning. We have to expect some failure on the way. We won't get there using the approaches & thinking that might have worked before. I'm inspired by this Janis Ozolins graphic

Karen RN 💙 @tupper32a #HMNI is Penny Smith Nurse . Carrie Biddle Ed Cox 💙 Thank you for highlighting this.

Being kind is so important.

This quote is so simple & profound & true. I can think of multiple times in my career when someone I really looked up to asked me my opinion & attended to my answer. It made me feel amazing. We can all listen in this way & make others feel amazing. Thank you Julie Woodard.

Following last weeks fantastic ‘We’re all ears…’ listening event with the surgical nursing staff discussing the challenges of redeployment - @GarrattJosey7, Joyce Cousins and @KriklerSteve are hosting another event for Kettering General Hospital ITU & Theatre staff… hope you can join us 💞

You can get good free practical tools for leading organisational/system change from XPLANE. This piece sets out "7 principles & 5 steps" for change leaders including the "activation curve".There's also a link to their free change guide for senior leaders: hubs.ly/H0ZWSLP0

1st day complete in new seconded role as Theatre Matron. Learnt lots and met some hardworking and supportive individuals. Looking forward to the next few weeks and months. Would find it beneficial to network with other theatre matron from other trusts to enhance my knowledge 😊

Looking for some network opportunities with practice development teams within theatres. Any links appreciated 🙏

I made a mistake last night at work, no harm but a mistake. I couldn't be more grateful for an open culture in the hospital where I could discuss my mistake with a senior doctor, follow internal procedure and feel supported to learn. We all play a part in this culture.

Can't beat peer supervision with your colleague. Thank you Joanna Snow. ⭐⭐

This is very sad but very true ❤

Great succession planning.

Help required!! Can anybody help me with the manual formula to calculate the number of staff (in hours) that can be off at any given time on annual leave from a team of staff. I used to know it many years ago until the eroster took over 🤣🤣

When we work hard for something we don't believe in, it's called stress. When we work hard for something we love, it's called passion.

If you have great interpersonal skills, empathy and care for your patients we would love to hear from you, we are recruiting Theatre Practitioner roles in our Surgery division. #teamkgh #theatrejobs #nhsjobs #nhscareers #surgery #recruiting lnkd.in/ekwtUQfi

Thank you Simon Weldon for taking the time to come theatres today. Leadership support at its best. So proud to work at KGH.
