The opportunities we’ve funded enable staff to continually grow and develop, and in doing so enhance their skills and knowledge to provide better patient care. Alongside courses, qualifications and organisational-level awareness activities, a particular highlight has been the Neonatal Unit applying for UNICEF accreditation. Staff are regularly supported to disseminate learning at conferences, and knowledge has also been passed on to patients and families through educational events such as the one for people with paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria.
Time out to reflect and learn also has the potential to boost morale and ensure Leeds Teaching Hospitals is able to retain talented and experienced staff. Activities to support this have included reset days for multidisciplinary teams and away days for many others, providing vital opportunities to reconnect after the stress of the pandemic.
