"There’s a very direct link here between workforce shortages and the quality of care we’re able to provide… We’ve all been very clear that we simply cannot run the NHS effectively or efficiently unless we have a long-term workforce plan." – Chris Hopson, NHS Chief Executive
In the post-pandemic era, deficit thinking like this continues to dominate. But what if there was a different way to approach the challenges facing our health care system?
Imagine transforming these challenges into opportunities by shifting from deficit thinking to a strength-based approach. The Strengths-Based Nursing and Health care (SBNH) leadership framework empowers health care leaders to see beyond limitations and focus on strengths. SBNH values include systems thinking, uniqueness, health and healing, multiple perspectives, self-determination, goodness-of-fit, timing, readiness, and collaborative partnerships.
Join the CHILD-BRIGHT Network Knowledge Mobilization Clinician Hub for a webinar to discover how the SBNH framework can be applied to real-life health care situations. Learn practical strategies to enhance your leadership, improve patient care, and cultivate a more resilient health care environment.
Investing in your development and mindset as a health care leader is essential to prevent burnout and foster a thriving workplace. Let SBNH thinking guide your actions and transform your leadership approach.
