📢 We're excited to announce our next Research Grants Scheme – Improving PeoLC in Hospitals. We’re looking to fund research that focuses on themes identified by the PEoLC @LindAlliance Priority Setting Partnership: Improving quality of care, and discharge, for people with palliative and end of life care needs in hospital. We’ve made exciting partnerships for this call. More detail coming soon. Applications open 3 June. More info - mariecurie.org.uk/research-and-p…

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. Read the blog: england.nhs.uk/blog/using-dat…

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: linkedin.com/posts/nick-wri…. By Nick Wright.

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 volunteering.england.nhs.uk/volunteer #VolunteersWeek
