All the very best in your retirement! Thank you for your knowledge and wisdom over the years 🥰. Another great midwifery leader that has well and truly earned her retirement 🍾🥂

[Colette Gregory @ColetteGregory5]

@ELHT_NHS so today I fully retired!! Thank you for a wonderful career as a nurse and midwife. As a 19 year old when I started, I couldn’t imagine working anywhere for more than a year or two. 37 years later….. Goodbye 💕💕

[The RCN @theRCN]

Childcare costs and challenging shift patterns are causing nursing students to question their career choice.

With a 10% fall in nursing student applications in England this year, the government can't afford to exclude them from free childcare.

[✨ Donna Hall ✨ @ProfDonnaHall]

Brilliant people leave teams when they feel they just can’t make change happen. The barriers?
- fixed hierarchies based on grade
- slow or no decision-making
- 0 freedom to innovate
- blocking good ideas
- taking credit for the efforts of others
- no engagement
- hubris
- spin

[Uma Krishnamoorthy @ukrishnamoorth1]

Golden quotes that are a great reminder for all of us from @WestM61 shared by @HelenBevan .

1. Compassion is the single most powerful intervention available to us” (in leading health and care).

2. “The factor that has the greatest impact on culture is the behaviour of leaders”.

3. “The ability to be self-compassionate is a pre-requisite of the ability to be compassionate to others”.

The NHS is rolling out a patient safety initiative called 'Martha's Rule' which enables patients and families to seek an urgent review if they are worried about their or a loved one’s condition.

This will undoubtedly save lives in the future. https://t.co/kH8MpDSjyp

Belonging is vital👌Belonging is everything👌

[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

Belonging at work really matters. Employees with a strong sense of belonging outperform others on almost every metric, from engagement & retention to performance & wellbeing. Good leadership supports belonging: People with an effective manager are 6X more likely to feel this sense of belonging. Six ways to gauge belonging at work based on research:
1) Overall sense of belonging: I feel a strong sense of belonging at my organisation
2) Welcomed: I feel warmly welcomed at in my organisation (first day, new team, new role)
3) Known: I feel known as an individual at work
4) Included: I feel included at work (can be myself, my opinions are valued, can respectfully disagree)
5) Supported: I am supported at work in achieving my personal & professional development goals
6) Connected: I feel a strong connection with peers and colleagues
