Insider Voices: Breaking the Culture Cycle celebrates nurses who uphold people’s human rights, ensuring dignity and equality are at the forefront of their practice.
The Insider Voices film, made to empower frontline nurses, features leaders in the nursing profession and family carers providing insights into the importance of positive cultures and how to create them in services. The film is a powerful demonstration of the lasting impact nurses have when they work in partnership, seek to connect with the people they support and their family carers and are creative in their approach.
Jonathan BeeBee, Royal College of Nursing Professional Lead in Learning Disabilities and Neuroscience, Salli Midgley, Executive Director of Nursing, Professions and Quality at NHS Sheffield Health and Social Care NHS Foundation Trust and family carers share their advice on how to spot the warning signs of a closed or harmful culture and actions staff can take.
The film will be launched in August 2024.
Background
The concept of the film was co-produced by a working group of nine family carers with lived experience of inpatient units, along with a representative from the Royal College of Nursing and NHS England.
There has been sustained media coverage over the past decade of the abuse and neglect of people with learning disabilities in inpatient units. This has cast a spotlight on how the leadership and culture of an inpatient unit has a significant impact on the people who use the service.
We all have the power to make a difference and become an agent of culture change. Your voice matters!
