SoWhoCaresAnyway E6 An Inconvenient Truth

In this next episode of "So Who Cares Anyway?" I am thrilled to introduce Dr Rebecca Myers, an incredible advocate for healthcare transformation.

Having first encountered Rebecca on LinkedIn, where she shared an insightful article co-authored with Alison Leary titled "Why are healthcare professionals leaving NHS roles?" I knew I had to invite her to discuss this further. As I read this article, so much of what it said resonated with me from my own personal experience of working as a nurse in the NHS. 

Rebecca, a registered nurse with a strong community background, is a Board Trustee at the Queen's Nursing Institute, Visiting Associate Professor at London South Bank University, and an Organisational Development Practitioner. Together, we delve into the critical issues facing healthcare professionals today, the often overlooked emotional labour as an inconvenient truth, and the toll it takes on healthcare workers.

Tune in to hear about the importance of supporting healthcare workers emotionally, the value of the therapeutic relationship, and the need for honest conversations about the limitations of the system. We also explore how widening the team, collective leadership, and recognising the contributions of social sciences can help create a more compassionate healthcare environment.

Don't miss this enlightening conversation on the real challenges and potential solutions in healthcare.
