Speaking Up

Season 2 · Episode 5

Monday, June 3, 2024 • Duration 01:21:57

Hello Intrepid Leaders and welcome to another episode of the Leadership Log where we talk about navigating everyday leadership. Joining me in this episode is Helene Donnelly. Helene is a registered nurse with over twenty years experience working in the NHS and Social Care. She raised concerns about the failings at Stafford Hospital (part of Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust) and she was a key witness to the Francis public inquiry that followed in 2010. Helene was awarded an OBE in 2014 for this and she has since pioneered the role of ambassador for cultural change and the concept of Freedom to Speak Up Guardians which is now embedded across NHS and independent sector healthcare organisations I am so thrilled to be have had the opportunity to sit down and have a one on one conversation with the inspirational Helene. I was in awe of her candidness and at times floored by the lived examples she shared that ultimately drove her to be the ‘skunk at the picnic’ Helene brave decision to speak up about care and behaviours she was observing and sometimes experiencing first hand allowed others to feel that they could do the same. Join us as we discuss the potential challenges of speaking up and how, collectively, speaking up in healthcare isn't just about making your voice heard—it's about making a difference. Here are the links we promised: Mid Staffs Report Freedom to Speak Up Guardians Pending Thirlwall Enquiry Civility Saves Lives We would encourage you to tune in and listen to our back catalogue of shows!

Student and Early Career Leadership with Jess Sainsbury

Season 1 · Episode 9

Thursday, May 5, 2022 • Duration 49:55

Hello Intrepid leaders and welcome to another episode of the Leadership Log where we talk about navigating everyday leadership.

In this episode we are going to be exploring student nurse and early career leadership with the lovely Jess Sainsbury

Leadership gives you greater confidence, strengthens your communication and negotiation skills, and helps develop your personality. Leadership skills help in all aspects of a career, from the job search process to career development.

So to start developing these skills early on in any career seems like a no-brainer

Jess is an early career registered adult and mental health nurse with a passion for enhancing and broadening the knowledge, opportunities, and experiences of all members of the nursing family.

In her last year of her nurse education, Jess was Chair of the Royal College of Nursing Students Committee and encouraged collaborative working not only within the College but with key stakeholders such as the Nursing and Midwifery Council, Health Education England, and the Council of Deans – challenging hierarchy and ways of working.

In addition to this, alongside her Chief Nurse and Senior Regional Nurse, Jess established the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Student Nurse Council – ensuring the voice of nursing students was heard at a strategic level within her local system.

Her special interests include clinical supervision, professional use of social media, student shared professional decision-making and advocating for the nursing profession on a global scale.

Jemima is passionate about advocating for the parity of esteem between physical and mental health care, and strives to honour throughout her practice. She is currently in a lecturer-practitioner role which she has found to be monumental in building her confidence and finds it a privilege to practice in.

Jemima completed the Sandra Charitable Early Career Nurse and Midwife leadership course in 2021 and found it to be absolutely transformational. She has built a network of like minded peers on the course and attributes the course to giving her the confidence to dare to dream beyond her ‘years of qualification’.

Storytelling in Leadership with Jane Dwelly

Season 1 · Episode 7

Thursday, March 31, 2022 • Duration 58:07

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Leadership Log where we talk about navigating everyday leadership.

Storytelling is often the best way for leaders to communicate with people they are leading. Effective leaders—the Brene Browns as well as the Obamas — tell or embody stories that speak to other people. So is it the tool that everyone — leaders especially — should be constantly sharpening?

In this episode we are going to be chatting to Jane Dwelly and exploring storytelling and making the case for storytelling as a key competence for effective leadership

Jane can truly be described as a thought leader in digital health and in particular the development of people who are able to make this vital transformation happen. Jane trained and worked as a financial journalist for the first seven years of her career before joining the civil service to work at the Department of Health as its Chief Press Officer and later: head of Communications for Lord Ara Darzi.

Jane started working on the digital health agenda in 2013 in NHS England covering such topics as shared patient records and ambitions to make the NHS “paper free”.

Jane now has a portfolio in which she directs international activities for CHIME - a global membership organisation for digital health leaders, teaches leadership communications around the world, and publishes on the subject of nurse and midwife empowerment through digital health.

Jane lives in South West London with her family and also finds time to be a Trustee of the Florence Nightingale Museum.
