Register for a Tommy Whitelaw: ‘You make a difference’ workshop
These sessions are hosted as the first Joint Health and Care Leadership Forum, and are part of a short tour of Lincolnshire that Tommy is undertaking in early November – we’ll share full details of the tour very soon.
About Tommy Whitelaw
Tommy is the Person-Centred Voices National Lead for Scotland’s Health and Social Care Alliance and promotes person-centred approaches and ‘Intelligent Kindness’ across all areas of care and support.
For five years Tommy was a full-time carer for his late mother, Joan, who had Vascular Dementia. His work is driven by that experience and led by the values and principles of the ‘What matters to you’ and ‘Intelligent Kindness’ movements. These identify active listening, kindness and person-centredness as a key to providing inclusive support and care to all individuals, as well as creating healthy working environments.
The impact of Tommy’s work with organisations across the UK is well-evidenced. Partner organisations have reported the benefits of embedding person-centred approaches in their organisational structures, processes, and service delivery, seeing improved outcomes both for staff and the people they support.
About the workshops
The ‘You make a difference’ workshops will explore:
- What compassionate workplaces and systems should look like, and how we can get there.
- What are our strengths and what are we already doing well?
- What could we do differently in the future?
- What are the barriers to better working and how we can work together to overcome these?
- What might person-centred practice look like across different teams and settings?
- The culture change required to embed and implement person-centred care and drive improvements in the lives of people, carers and families.
