Passionate about our NHS. Driven to support people to be their best selves & inclusion for all. Views are my own.
Leaving this platform until it stops inciting hate and violence. Its a "no thanks" from me! 👋
The @UHS_OrgDev team were out out last night, saying goodbye and good luck to @GemmaGenco as she moves onto a great new job. Thanks for everything you've done for @UHSFT Gem! ❤️




Spot on, @AdamMGrant When a leader doesn’t hear about problems, it rarely means there aren’t any. Instead, it signals that people don’t feel comfortable speaking up. This is why #PsychologicalSafety is so critical for fostering healthy and honest communication
What stops us from speaking truth to power is not a desire for harmony. It’s a climate of fear and futility. When leaders fail to make it safe and worthwhile to be honest, we bite our tongues. Weak leaders stifle dissent and leave themselves weaker. Strong leaders welcome…
An @NHSEngland report on "NHS Productivity" in May 2024 highlights the growing % of NHS staff who are new/inexperienced as a barrier to productivity & the need to get them up the learning curve faster. New research suggests one catalyst for learning that is often lacking at this…
After eight straight hours of back to back meetings, feeling blessed to be able to pop out at 8pm, get some fresh air, and catch a bit of sun! 🌤


Convo with daughter re her 1st vote in the "Genny leccy" (her words). Her POV: no one appeals directly to her generation, Manifestos are all long words she doesn't understand. They all talk utter crap. Would rather watch Love Island! Good job I'm her proxy vote!!
These are awesome stories told by @UHSFT staff past and present, from the Windrush Generation to today, thank you to them for taking part. A fantastic project, we were so proud to work with everyone involved.
Today is #WindrushDay 📽️ Earlier this year we had the honour of working alongside @bhmsouth on the amazing 'Then & Now' films, which showcase the contributions of the Windrush generation both to our Trust and the wider national health service. 💙 🎞️ 👉 youtube.com/@bhmsouth3731
I am SAD and EXCITED to be sharing this FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY to lead an amazing divisional education team! As I depart for pastures new, there is a great opportunity for an experienced educational leader. careers.uhs.nhs.uk/job-descriptio… Speak to me or @suzy_pike if you are interested!
The NHS is safe in my hands....are you kidding?
Great to spend time today with @UHSFT @KatieArthur20 and the Division D leadership team. Workforce planning, team development, and leadership behaviours, all in a days work! And chips for lunch! 🙏
As Pride month kicks off today, we raised the Progress Pride flag outside @UHSFT @SotonChildHosp yesterday showing our support and solidarity for our staff, patients, carers and all members of the LQBTQIA+ community. #Pride #WeAreUHS #ProudAlliance


Gorgeous down here tonight, calm, warm, and empty!!



Looking forward to being part of this LinkedIn live event on 7th June with @autumnLIVE talking about getting the best out of healthcare events. @UHS_OrgDev @UHSFT buff.ly/3yfHKwj

It's the fourth day of #PatientExperienceWeek 2024! Today's focus is on @UHSFT Division C, and they've received 95% positive feedback from patients, families and carers. Be sure to join us in the Room for Improvement between 12pm and 2pm for more!
People continue to say their appraisal doesn't make them feel valued and doesn't help them reach their potential. Give this a try from @Haypsych you might find it helps create a really valuable appraisal conversation! @UHSFT @SotonChildHosp @UHS_OrgDev
This is your annual reminder that appraisals needn't be boring and tick-box. Here are my ideas for 10 things to discuss at #appraisal You can ask the appraisee to think about as many of these in advance as they'd like #management #sketchnote
In challenging times, I always find it helpful to go back to the original principles of why we are here & what drives us, as a reminder of what we should be trying to achieve together 🙏 #NHSConstitution
