My book is on its way! I’m actually having a fan girl moment because ✨Sonia Sparkles✨🖤 is actually on the call as well!!!!!

Yum! Anyone else craving a #PsychologicalSafety pizza party? If only I could find somewhere to order one…😂🍕

Brilliant work by ✨Sonia Sparkles✨🖤 ✨

After months of planning, we had our 1st #interfaceimprovement session NHS Confederation

10 teams across the country working on interface challenges- starting with understanding the problem better

A big thank you to these wonderful, diverse facilitation leads & the teams involved 👏

First session with teams across the UK who are participating in the NHS Confederation’s interface improvement programme looking forward to working across our system on our frailty pathway improvements #interfaceimprovement NHS Herefordshire & Worcestershire Worcestershire Acute NHS Hollie Hastings 💙

Excited to be working with the NHS Confederation and teams from across the country as we look at #InterfaceImprovement in our first workshop this morning. The Primary Secondary Care Interface is such an important area to be looking at. ✨Sonia Sparkles✨🖤 Ruth Rankine 💙

Psychological safety: Feeing confident to speak up & use your voice without fear of retribution or judgement

We learn most from mistakes, failures, honest conversations & being vulnerable

🍕

The way you behave & lead has a domino effect on everyone around you

Finally got round to watching Victor Adebowale on Question Time

- Language matters
- If you want to know - talk to people!
- Stop cruel policies
- Fix the right part of the system
- Stop labelling migrants
- NHS staff are unwell & bunt-out but still push on
- Have more empathy

👏

✨Sonia Sparkles✨🖤 has tonnes of excellent sketch notes communicating some very important subjects, lest of all QI. Check them out…

Accessing care needs is unbelievably complicated

Lots of forms, assessments, calls, criteria, disjointed conversations & meetings

Who suffers the most?

Those with:

Mental health needs
Cognitive impairments
Poor literacy
Minority backgrounds
Disabled

They can’t navigate it

Missed your chance to hear Prof Brian Dolan OBE, RMN, RGN, ✨Sonia Sparkles✨🖤, Matthew Taylor and our guest speakers discuss reducing patient delays in hospitals and the last 1,000 days concept?

It’s scary how fast time is going
There’s no time to stop & rest
No time to reflect & be present

Commit to slowing down
To be more aware of your surrounding
To pause & just break away
Force yourself to be still
To breathe and tell yourself it’s ok
I need to do this too
🐢

The sun is finally shining

This is a small thing but I’m going to push myself to go for a walk everyday and break away from the chaotic life cycle

Enjoy the small things ☀️

The only person you need to compare yourself to is: You 🍁

Circle of wellbeing: The responsibility in ME YOU & US ⭕️

There are many benefits to approaching change with small steps.

Empathy lens:

To understand perspectives - ask
To live in their experiences- listen
