The King's Fund: Compassionate and inclusive leadership

Summary

Compassionate leadership builds connection across boundaries, ensuring that the voices of all are heard in the process of delivering and improving care. In order to nurture a culture of compassion, organisations require their leaders – as the carriers of culture – to embody compassion and inclusion in their leadership.

Where leaders model a commitment to high-quality and compassionate care, this impacts everything from clinical effectiveness and patient safety to staff health, wellbeing and engagement.

The King's Fund's work, through courses, blogs and articles, explores the role of, and supports, leaders in creating a culture of compassion and inclusion.
