There are more than 70,000 volunteers in the NHS. In his latest blog, @neilgchurchill explores how we can use new data to identify where volunteers could make an even bigger impact to both patients and colleagues. #VolunteersWeek #teamCNO.

[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

The little "chit chats" we have at the start of a meeting or Teams call (where we talk about our weekends, the weather, our pets or the traffic) are really important. Research shows that they actually work as a neural 'warm-up' for a deeper connection.
So the next time we get irritated by the small talk at the start of a meeting & push to start discussion on the topic at hand, we might remember that:
- small talk isn’t filler; it’s an entry point to foster group psychological safety.
- rapport isn’t a ‘nice to have’; it enables the trust needed for meaningful dialogue.
- alignment doesn’t begin with tasks; it begins with shared attention & mutual recognition.
Those first few minutes of “non-essential” chatter are doing critical work. They're building safety, alignment & a shared language that's the foundation for us to work more effectively together: https://t.co/N4N8rqFMhT. By Nick Wright. Fabulous graphic & signpost to this piece by @tashwillcocks

[Duncan Burton @Duncan_CNO]

As a volunteer myself, working with my local hospice, and during my nursing career, I have seen the impact that volunteers make and how rewarding it can be. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, find out more at https://t.co/9gg6aotgsX #VolunteersWeek
