What are they? They are a network of people coming together to share and learn. Anyone can join. It’s a great opportunity to expand your personal NWAS network. There is a different theme each month, drawn from conversations on the Making a Difference workshops and with staff trust-wide.
What communities are there?
- Sexual safety in the workplace
- Positive action for inclusion
- Sickness absence
- Improvement to make a difference (Quality Improvement)
- Conflict management
- Supporting neurodiverse employees with additional workplace needs
- Managing big or small change
- Coaching reflection
- Values-based decision-making and ethical leadership – doing the right thing
- Influence and negotiation
What will happen on a community of learning? The facilitator will provide a brief introduction to the theme which will lead into a flexible and free-flowing conversation in a safe space for an hour.
What should I do to prepare? Have a think about questions you can bring to the discussion, to gain insight from others. Also have a think about stories you can share from your experiences that connect with the theme. There may be a short video to watch before attending – your diary invite will tell you more.
How do a book? Simply search the events page, select the one/s you would like to attend (MS Teams) and email learning&OD@nwas.nhs.uk. You will then receive the relevant diary invite/s.
