[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

We want to build a strong, positive organisational culture, based on values. Leaders often set out abstract absolute positives as organisational values (integrity, respect, trust etc) but these don't drive the day-to-day decision-making (& therefore the behaviour) of the people at work. Therefore, they have no impact on the actual culture.
@ErinMeyerINSEAD has undertaken research on organisational culture for two decades & suggests six actions for making values-based culture come alive:
1) Build your culture based on real-world dilemmas: identify the tough dilemmas that people routinely face and clearly state how they should be resolved, in line with the stated values.
2) Move your culture from abstraction to action: “dilemma-test” your values to determine if they are actionable enough to be useful in real decision-making situations.
3) Paint your culture in full colour: articulate your desired culture using concrete, colourful images to get the values to stick.
4) Recruit people whose values fit: “bad” behaviour is contagious.
5) Let culture drive strategy: identify your strategic objective & use dilemmas so people understand what decisions they should be making to move the organisation in the right direction.
6) Don’t be a “values” purist: Identify dilemmas in which your stated values do not apply.

@Elbow bringing my son for his first concert tonight in @OVOHydro and here he is today being injured at rugby by an elbow funnily enough. It’s all about the elbows today. 🏉🎶🎤

Food for thought. The use of appropriate language not only in verbal communication but written as well. Have seen a number of these terms used over the years. Acopia always bothered me in acute when given as reason for admission 🙁

What a way to destress after a hard day at the office. Well done team!

[North Ayrshire Enhanced ICT @eICTNorth]

Saw this image earlier and it really resonated. Do we need to slow down to help us go faster? A strong foundation, helps us build for the future.

@ninamcg77 This is my motto with teams! Defo!

'10 days in hospital for a person over 80 is the equivalent of 10 years of deconditioning.'

The #ActiveRecovery pilot @LCHNHSTrust is improving patient outcomes, getting people out of hospital faster and keeping them at home.

Great opportunity

[Naseer Ahmad @nas_vascular]

Most people think of patient facing roles being only Doctors and Nurses.

However, there’s a whole other group called Allied Health Professionals (AHPs).

There’s 14 groups that work side by side with us to provide the best care for patients.

[Kerry Walker @KerryWalkerOT]

I fully and wholeheartedly agree!!! I have been looking, listening and scoping the processes and pathways over the last 5 weeks and it’s been truly invaluable. Glad to have had the support to allow me that time, #slowdowntogofaster @LianneMcInally1 @gibbieahplcr @Alistair_ahp
