NHS Framework Approved Training
This one day course will explore civility, the impact of it being present and the impact of it not being.
Moreover, it will delve into understanding the underlying causes of incivility, highlighting how empathy, emotional intelligence, and personal well-being form the cornerstone for cultivating a culture of civility on an individual level, within teams, and in interactions with service users.
It is well known statistic that people who even just witness incivility towards another are 50% less likely to help another person. (Civility Saves Lives) There is also a clear link to patient safety.
Often, we avoid visiting difficult emotions in others, as well as ourselves, because we don’t feel confident, or skilled. We are feeling hurt by another’s incivility to us, or, we simply don’t have the emotional reserves. Understanding the emotional dimensions and stories, acknowledging our collective humanity and vulnerabilities, brings the human focus towards colleagues, patients, and loved ones, to enable authentic learning around civility.
Emphasizing that personal well-being stands as the most potent antidote to incivility. Understanding the profound repercussions of incivility and acknowledging the crucial role of emotional intelligence in fostering civility, facilitates introspection and motivates individuals to cultivate an environment grounded in respect, support, transparency, and continuous learning.
In a supportive and relaxed environment, delegates, will have the opportunity to gain in depth knowledge of the emotional component, relate to, analyse, and realise the significance of civility, building confidence in their own abilities, to make positive culture changes in organisations.
