COURSE OUTLINE

This virtual one day masterclass, facilitated by Christine Steel, will focus on compassionate leadership, highlighting the benefits of building and sustaining a compassionate culture. Raising awareness of the connection between compassionate leadership and emotional intelligence.

The key to improving workplace wellbeing lies in culture, leadership, and management behaviour. With the number of people off on long-term sick at a 10-year high and the NHS stretched to the max, it’s more important than ever that workplace employee health and wellbeing is a priority for individual staff members and for the success of their organisations.

The NHS and healthcare staff work under immense pressure with unprecedented staff shortages and vacancies. Compassionate leadership increases staff engagement, attracts, and retains talented and experienced staff helping you to build a more motivated and successful team. With compassionate leadership we can build a caring workforce that are not heading for burnout, and who are inspired to build a collaborative team with a shared sense of belonging.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE DAY

To provide healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills to ensure they are equipped to bring out the best in themselves and in others. Compassionate leadership increases staff engagement and when we have engaged staff we have higher wellbeing, better retention, lower absenteeism, and higher productivity. What this means in practice is we are able to provide a higher quality of care to our patients.

As a compassionate leader you will develop strategies and techniques to build trust and mutual respect, you will learn how to break down barriers and build genuine connections, you will learn the 4 key behaviours of a compassionate leader. Your approach as a leader is massively important as you are making the changes necessary to keep the healthcare profession moving forward through the effectiveness of your teams.

As a leader you can create an environment where people are genuinely excited about the future, you can also give your team the courage and confidence to keep moving forward when they face hurdles. To support the team’s collaboration, leaders must help people unite beyond their differences and build a sense of being part of a team who are striving and excited about their new approach and have a feeling of ownership towards its success.

Amanda Pritchard, Chief Executive of NHS England said:

“Our hardworking NHS staff are busier than ever but go the extra mile for patients every day, so it’s right that we look to do everything we can as employers to support their health and wellbeing.”

“Small improvements can make a big difference to working lives.”
