Susie took to the stage with Physician Heal Thyself, focussing on burnout, overwork and why clinician and healthcare professional wellbeing is essential for empathy and better patient outcomes.

This motivating and engaging talk was designed to stimulate discussion and curiosity around physician health and self-compassion.

This is a two day event focussed on ‘Ethics, Empowerment and Excellence - Professionalism in Medical Education’

The topic areas that I am sharing are connected to AI and Leadership which is an on-going area of interest and separately I have been invited to share knowledge and insights on coaching and mentoring.

This interactive workshop supports researchers developing therapies, products and services towards clinical impact. Participants will explore how common challenges in translational research such as publication rejections, funding delays, regulatory complexity, and clinical trial setbacks can be reframed as sources of learning, adaptability, and professional growth.

Facilitation for Executive Directors and Senior Leaders is an area that I have tremendous expertise and passion for. Being able to create the space for a group to connect, share best practice and to strive to improve patient safety, quality and care is a joy for me to do. This is for a NHS Trust who is innovative with their thinking and curious in the way they create the conditions for leadership throughout their organisation.

Leading Together: Systems Leadership Microburst Videos

Does your work involve collaboration across team, organisation or system boundaries?

We have created a series of five ‘microburst’ videos and an accompanying workbook designed for those whose work involves collaboration across team, organisation or system boundaries.

The series was created to support leaders within systems to deepen their understanding of system leadership and systems thinking, how to create culture and vision within a system, and how to better work collaboratively at place and system level to improve services and population health within their area.

Susie will run a series of talks as part of the Essential Leaders Conference for Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust. The themes are focussed on supporting leadership in an emergent system of change and concentrates on sharing best practice as well as creating a space for debate and thinking on psychological safety, change and leadership.
