Amazing to be part of this! Thank you @FHFTexcel and looking forward to getting the FX Way out there in our services.

A few yrs ago, I took my medical students to Costa. We talked about our vulnerability as doctors, About burnout & boundaries. About how prioritising our own needs is essential "That was more helpful than any teaching session," one of them said. We need to talk about this.

@NeilDardis @FrimleyHealth Wishing you all the best with this next adventure @NeilDardis ! You will be sorely missed & has been a real privilege working with you at FHFT.

Really tough day - such a hard decision to make & so sad to be leaving @FrimleyHealth & so many brilliant people - it’s been a huge privilege. Humbled to be offered such a prestigious role & really excited about the next adventure for me & my amazing family

Loved this post. Passionate about teaching, training, mentoring and developing the next gen of clinical psychologists and psychologically-informed health professionals.

@DrZoffness Well said! This is exactly what I said to my young kids when they asked who was winning. 😢

It seems like we're all supposed to have an opinion, to come down on a side. What if our opinion is simply that evil seems to be winning - "evil" being xenophobia + hatred??? My heart is breaking for ALL of your families, ALL of the innocents. Please be kind to one another 💔

#GreatSouthRun done! 🏅 Was a tough one today but seeing all the people showing up, pushing themselves to their limits and raising awareness / funds for incredible causes was all the inspiration needed. Well done to all runners and fundraisers. You should be super proud 💕

You really can’t beat the power of cold water immersion 💦🥶 only 16 degrees today but it felt amazing! Immune-boosting, endorphin pumping, nervous system regulating and incredible to belonging to this bonkers community! #quayswimmytchett

@lucytebbit @NeilDardis @lornawilko @vtay91 @lozwhitty @VasantMohandas Incredible work! This project is so inspiring and an amazing example of how to create a safe and compassionate workplace. 💖#wellbeingmatters #connectlistenbekind

1/People often ask is #FND neurological or psychological? I would argue this is the wrong question. Areas of the brain that process movement, pain & emotion are so intertwined there really isn’t such a division.

Officially now an FX yellow belt 🏅 thank you to @FHFTexcel for the amazing training and encouragement. Really excited to join the FHFT improvers network and get stuck in with the fx way! #yellowbelt #improvementmindset #lean

So proud of these staff from @FrimleyHealth completing their TRiM training with @MarchonStress so that they can support their colleagues in paediatrics and ED following potentially traumatic events. Huge thank you to Sarah and Jon for their amazing training. #TRiM

On Thursday we will launch our FHFT Culture and Leadership programme. You told us in our National Staff Survey that we needed to work harder on our culture. We've heard you, and now it's time to start that work. Please help us understand this work more deeply via this survey link

Useful article which outlines why psychological debriefing after trauma is not helpful. The same is NOT true for leader led, operational debriefings (done sensitively) which are part of a good organisational response to trauma. @MarchonStress @UKPTS

One model I use constantly is the "hierarchy of capabilities" from the book "Humanocracy: Creating organizations as amazing as the people inside them". As leaders we can expect people to follow the rules, be diligent in their work & to have expertise. But if we want people to take initiative, be creative & be willing to take risks, we have to create the conditions where they "want to" do these things. If leaders could support people to move up this pyramid, we could eliminate half the compliance load in a typical organisation. A summary from @MarcellaBremer: t.co/u4Q3qgQshq

Amazing that the anti-inflammatory effects of yoga are now being researched. “Walking and yoga ‘can cut risk of cancer spreading or returning” theguardian.com/society/2023/j…

Research shows that employee's willingness to support organisation-wide change initiatives has fallen drastically since the pandemic, across all sectors. A key reason? At a time when people are still recovering, the change is too fast & too top down. 4 ways forward: 1) Clearly prioritise change 2) Build in periods of proactive rest to sustain change energy 3) Co-create change with people at all levels 4) Reimagine the role of managers in change hbr.org/2023/05/employ….
