โ€œLeaders need the courage to move away from traditional hierarchical leadership approaches, towards a compassionate leadership approach. It requires a sustained shift in mindset and behaviours of people working in health and care to deliver and sustain this culture change.โ€.

There is clear evidence that compassionate leadership results in more engaged and motivated staff with high levels of wellbeing, which in turn results in high-quality care. Learn more in our new explainer:.

Next time you read or hear some lazy stereotyping of the inefficient NHS that needs to be more productive, please debunk it with the facts. NHS productivity 1.4% p.a. For 5 years. Whole economy 0.2%. My staff deserve better. Thanks.

#IWentToStateSchool like most people do. My kids went to state school too. Iโ€™ve done ok - worked in the heart of government in the Prime Ministerโ€™s Delivery Unit and as a CEO in the NHS. Thirty years of public service and helped to save, transform and support thousands of people.

On #InternationalMenDay can we please ban the bullshit phrase โ€œMan upโ€. I donโ€™t recognise the need to pretend to be tough, hide my feelings and overdose on machismo. It doesnโ€™t do us much good as a gender - more likely to die by suicide & have more years of ill health. Ta.

Hey everyone. This is a small change for us all to make and one that makes a difference in tackling stigma and shame. My brother would have been 52 today. He died by suicide in 2003 and it took a decade for me to talk about it. Thanks @Crouchendtiger7 for sharing.

My brother Adrian died from suicide 1 August 2006 ๐Ÿ’”.Please letโ€™s tackle the stigma that leaves too many people struggling alone feeling thereโ€™s no way out.A simple way is to avoid saying โ€œcommitted suicideโ€. It harks back to when suicide was a crime & keeps it in the shadows
