Leadership Conference

This week we hosted our Leadership Conference, bringing together leaders from across the Trust and providing an interactive, thought-provoking, and educational event with a number of keynote speakers.

The conference looked at the topics most relevant to today’s leaders and delegates had the opportunity to network and take inspiration from peers and other leaders.

The conference will equip our leaders with the skills and confidence they need to support their teams across the organisation on our improvement journey.

Keynote speakers included Darrell Woodman, a trainer and coach from Art of Brilliance, Jess Wall, a psychological skills mentor, Ian Rose, resilience trainer and Professor Damian Hughes, an international speaker and author.

Inese Robotham, Assistant Chief Executive, said: “The Leadership Conference has been an absolutely fantastic opportunity for teams to take time out and get equipped with the skills that will make them better leaders and deliver benefits for patients, colleagues and the communities we serve.”

Will Parry-Smith, Obstetrics and Gynaecology Consultant, said: “It’s really important in the NHS to consider wellbeing and resilience at work. Today has focused on teamwork, improving wellbeing and improvement – and this will all benefit patients and colleagues alike.”

Thank you to the OD team who helped to deliver the session.
