Taking a systems approach to leading with kindness. An outstanding new paper - Dec 2024. Kindness means helping others do better. If, as leaders, we want to create a satisfying & meaningful career experience for colleagues which promotes optimal well-being & healthspan, we should focus on four domains for leading with kindness:
1) Agency - people having a sense of control/autonomy in their work lives

Thank you @mabonapgwynfor, for discussing our new report on medicine shortages with us at the Senedd today. Shortages are causing significant concerns stress for our patients and pharmacy teams. It's crucial we find effective ways to address and manage these challenges.
This valuable work has enabled a better understanding of the complexities of maintaining a robust supply chain and the action that needs to happen to address them. Looking forward to discussing this important topic with AMs at the Senedd soon #MedicineShortages @RPS_Wales

Our report shows how global supply chain issues and demand spikes create a perfect storm of unstable supply. We need a robust strategy to protect patients.

@Liz_ORiordan@rpharms Interesting to hear your unique perspective - lots of take home messages for us to consider as HCP on how we can improve the patient’s experience #RPSConf24
