Compassionate Leadership Principles for Health and Social Care in Wales (Draft)
To drive a consistent approach to compassionate leadership across health and social care in Wales, a set of Compassionate Principles were developed based on your feedback from the extensive workforce strategy consultation and HEIW Compassionate Leadership Engagement conference in 2019.
The development of the principles was supported by Professor Michael West, a credible source of knowledge and critical friend to NHS Wales.
We believe these compassionate leadership principles will help steer us towards creating cultures where employees feel valued, safe and empowered to continuously improve the services they provide to the people of Wales.
The consultation period for the Draft Compassionate Leadership Principles for Health and Social Care in Wales has now closed and the feedback received is currently being gathered. The principles will be formally published in December and will be made available on this page.
