Blaming and shaming doesn't stop people from making mistakes. It stops them from admitting mistakes. If people can't share their blunders, they can't learn from them—and neither can the rest of us. The best way to prevent errors is to make it safe for people to discuss them.

Looking forward to listening to Dr Mannix this Saturday in Stroud - her books are so beautifully written and helping me to help a friend through some difficult months ahead. We should talk more about dying. Highly recommended reading for everyone.

Toxic cultures define success as winning a cutthroat competition. They reward people for stabbing others in the back. Healthy cultures define success as making a contribution. They reward people for having others’ backs. Good organizations elevate those who elevate others.

Best kept secret in medicine. Dying will come to us all. We plan birth in details. Saying someone is dying allows people to plan for death in the same way and have the best death possible. 😍 fb.watch/g3QjsJ3TPB/

Your worth is not defined by what you achieve or acquire. It’s a question of who you become and how you contribute to others. Self-esteem should come from character, not success or status. The highest accomplishment is to be a person of generosity, curiosity, and integrity.

So true!
If you wait until you feel ready to take on a new challenge, you might never pursue it at all. Few people wake up suddenly feeling prepared to lead or create. They become prepared by taking the leap anyway. Our greatest regrets are not our failures, but our failures to try.

We’ve issued a statement in response to a misleading and inaccurate story about the Emergency Department at GRH in a national tabloid newspaper today. Read the full response here: gloshospitals.nhs.uk/about-u…

People who attend our A&Es as a result of a #MentalHealth crisis can now pick up a card to pass to staff, avoiding the need to discuss this in the waiting area. When they take the important step of seeking help, people can do so without fear of judgement. bit.ly/3GieRzM
