Leadership is not an exact formula. It can be messy & hard to put in a structure at times. That’s because humans are free flowing, emotional creatures with messy traits. So when you feel like you’re not doing a great job, remember that this isn’t a tick box exercise. It’s life.
Following on from yesterday’s session with the North West community nursing team, today it was the turn of the amazing North East Team and again great ideas of how we work collectively to improve the service and care provided
Value time spent today with some of our Edinburgh District Nursing and Community Nursing teams from north west. Despite the challenges you couldn’t help to be impressed by their commitment to providing high quality person centred care @NHS_Lothian@EdinburghHSCP
