Whole Team Training

Overview

This programme aims to unite teams to meet the challenges of high performance in the NHS.

This year long programme encourages teams to set goals linked to organisational objectives and therefore improve individual and organisational performance alike.

Team issues that have been tackled are improved patient care, specific team issues e.g. relocation, relationship and role issues within the team, leadership and effective team working. It also has been highly influential in preparing teams to manage change issues productively.

The programme is designed specifically for the needs of the team and includes meetings, awaydays, projects and one to one coaching for team members or leaders.

Results so far have included:
* Significant improvement in services and standards of care.
* Significant improvement in teamwork.
* A substantial number of KSF indications being signed off for individuals.
* A reduction in sickness and absence with one team achieveing a saving of in excess of £30,000.
* A massive improvement in retention with one team reducing turnover from 28.5% to within the national average of 14.3%.

Testimonials

‘Extremely well facilitated – excellent groundrules – that were well enforced. Lots of difficult issues addressed very difficult to get truly honest responses when so many ‘tribes’ are represented – very good way of addressing the problems that arise from change – I’d definitely use this elsewhere. Consultant

‘Enjoyed the day much more than I expected to. It helped to provide an equal playing field for everyone to be honest about problems and areas which need to be addressed. Excellent and cheerful facilitation’. Consultant.

‘The day helped the team come together ie, M.O.s and Admin staff all working towards the same goal. Helped show that methods of work are not in concrete and can/should be changed.’ Team member.

‘Your skills in dealing with the varied ‘characters’ on the day has resulted in a greater overview of our team in that the comments have opened up many more of my inner thoughts than expected and given me confidence to know I have avenues in which to solve problems.’ Supervisor
