We were talking the other day, about our experience working with and for the NHS; a combined experience of more than 50 years, and the changes and the level of progress we have seen over that time in diversity and equality. What became apparent from talking and sparked a rather interesting conversation was that one […]

That moment when something stops you in your tracks for a minute and makes you reflect and think… For me it was a recent ‘memory’ that popped up on my Facebook account (I know FB is outdated, my 11 year old reminds me often, but I’m retro). It was a photo of the statue in […]

“War! There’s a war in the workplace!” Or at least that’s what listening to all the media hype would have you believe if you listened to it. This was how I opened my presentation at the inaugural HPMA North East Roadshow event in Durham to over 100 HR and OD professionals on 2 October, when […]

We need a thoroughly modern workforce – but will we get this from the imminent NHS workforce implementation plan?

The ILN Uncategorised 0 Comments

With the imminent release of the NHS workforce implementation plan it’s a great time to start to really think about what a progressive and modern employer looks and feels like, and then to consider who and what we need to manage that workforce. We talk a lot about leadership in healthcare, but not enough about […]

“The NHS is a huge employer of women, I want it to be one of the best as well”

Chris Davies Uncategorised 2 Comments

I think it’s safe to say that most of us welcomed Matt Hancock’s comments last week around supporting and enabling women to reach (I prefer ‘ be appointed’) to senior positions and to close the gender pay gap.
