I now change my management and leadership styles to suit different situations and it’s so much more effective. I hadn’t even realised how my own personal styles weren’t always working for some of my staff.”

10. CULTURE OF CARE Communication is central to successful caring relationships and to effective team working. Listening is as important as what we say and do and essential for "no decision about me without me". Communication is the key to a good workplace with benefits for those in our care and staff alike When you need an answer from me – phone me When you want me to know something – email me When you need my advice – come and see me The psychologist spent time talking to me and helped me to understand what was happening to my wife

12. CULTURE OF CARE COMMITMENT A commitment to our patients and populations is a cornerstone of what we do. We need to build on our commitment to improve the care and experience of our patients, to take action to make this vision and Culture of Care a reality for all and meet the health, support and care challenges ahead. “ My team initially told me they didn’t really believe my idea would make much difference to patient care, so I went away and found out more about it and now they’re convinced how good it will be for patient care, I’m so glad I persisted with it”
