Building your authority: influencing beyond your role
Patient Safety Learning posted a calendar event in Community Calendar
untilWe know that it is no longer enough just to have a good idea; just as important is the ability to work collaboratively with others, to navigate organisational politics and to work with relational dynamics to use that idea to create change. In the midst of a global pandemic, where new organisational arrangements have changed familiar lines of authority and where leadership takes place predominantly from behind a computer screen, opportunities for influencing can be fraught with dilemmas and frustrations as well as bringing opportunities for innovation and new ways of working.

News ArticleFor the last 10 months, everyone in healthcare has lived their lives as if they were trapped in a burning building without a fire escape. No matter how much water we throw on the fire or how many firefighters (healthcare providers in this instance) we send in, we cannot gain control of the flames.

For years prior to this pandemic, there has been a physician shortage in the United States that is expected to worsen over t

New trust’s ‘inexperienced’ leadership criticised as CQC serves warning
Patient Safety Learning posted a news article in News
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has criticised a new trust’s leadership after issuing it with a warning notice to improve care in its two emergency departments.

The CQC — which carried out focused inspections at the trust in August and September after concerns were raised about risks to patient and staff safety — added there was evidence of “insu -

The medical school trying to become anti-racist
Patient Safety Learning posted a news article in News
A major British medical school is leading the drive to eliminate what it calls "inherent racism" in the way doctors are trained in the UK.
