How can we better support nurses and midwives to flourish and thrive in their work? In this free online event we discussed the changes needed to empower nurses and midwives to shape and provide the compassionate, high-quality care that they aspire to in a sustainable way – through the Covid-19 pandemic and beyond.
The conversation explored:
- workplace stressors, work conditions and ways of working – including workload, shift patterns and supervision – that have an impact on nurse and midwife wellbeing, and how these can be positively transformed
- organisational cultures and leadership styles – including those around diversity and inclusion, psychological safety and compassionate leadership at all levels – that need to be cultivated, and how progress can be achieved
- lessons and examples of good practice from across the health and care system, from both before and during the Covid-19 pandemic.
