The evidence is clear that developing a culture where staff can flourish, underpinned by leadership that is compassionate, inclusive and collaborative, is crucial both to the physical and mental health of staff, and to the health and care system’s ability to deliver high-quality care.
But what stops leaders and systems from developing and sustaining such cultures and from tackling the bullying and discrimination that continue to harm staff and impact the care they can offer? How do we transform our workplaces to properly support those who choose to work in health and care, so that staff are not just surviving their day jobs but are truly able to thrive and grow?
This King's Fund event will explore what is needed to ensure people and leaders are better enabled, encouraged in their professional development, and consistently supported to deliver and support the three fundamental shifts outlined by the Prime Minister in a recent speech at The King’s Fund: a move from analogue to digital, from hospitals to communities, and from sickness to prevention.
Conference sessions will delve into how to achieve greater equity in the workplace to ensure the health and care system provides genuinely inclusive places to work, fostering belonging and supporting staff wellbeing and development. We will examine the role of those working and leading in health and care, as well as patient and community leaders, in making this happen, and how old power (held by a few, closely guarded and inaccessible) is colliding with new power (enabled by people with agency at a grassroots level), the tension this creates, and how to work effectively with both types of power.
