- Summary:
- "A recurring theme of this book is the need in healthcare for greater kindness. Not kindness as simply an emotional feeling - important though this is - but intelligent kindness, the kindness that motivates us to be co-operative rather than competitive with one another; to feel connected, thoughtful and with a sense of kinship towards other people. This connectedness starts with thoughtfulness towards ourselves, and learning about the impact on our physiology and our cognitive performance of the stressful environments in which we are all working. The potential gains are substantial. Firstly, there is our own wellbeing and a recovery of that 'joy of practice' which first alerted us to the attraction and fulfilment of working in healthcare. Secondly, greater safety and wellbeing of staff means improved safety for patients and a reduction in the medical error related to staff burnout. There is a particular responsibility on healthcare regulators, leaders and providers to develop the intelligent kindness towards healthcare staff which has too often been absent, so that staff and their patients remain safe"-- Provided by publisher.
