The Edge of Glory?

A legitimate Statement of Values

“The Lothian Way” has been developed within NHS Lothian as a set of emergent values and associated behaviours identified as vital elements of the culture that NHS Lothian wants to build. Patients are first and foremost in this set of values however staff motivation and organisational reputation are central too. They are as follows: – Person Centred – Partnership – Integrity – Accountability – Innovation

Many organisations have unwritten rules which

describe ‘the way we do things around here’. In

NHS Lothian the following have been described

consistently to us in one-to-one interviews: • Suppression of bad news – do not write it down • Gloss • You are on your own – ‘Just fix It’ “

Underlying cultural assumptions (the unwritten rules)

Some less prominent headlines (in May alone…)

The real world?

• Performance continues to improve

• In many areas it is better than ever (and world class)

• We can’t afford to stand still

• Attitudes, ethics and values are as important as technical excellence

• Reliability just as important in these areas – every person every time

We should choose to learn!

“What if we choose to change? Could we

craft joy from loss, pride from revision, and

excellence from invention?

Yes we can.”

Don Berwick; British Journal of General Practice; Feb 2009

To change and to persist!

“There were a number of definitions of courage, but now I was seeing it in its simplest form: you do what has to be done day after day, and you never quit.” ― Eric Greitens, The Heart and the Fist: The Education of a Humanitarian, the Making of a Navy SEAL

To make the right thing easier to do!

Tough Love?

So what if……?

• We had the courage to persist in our pursuit of world-class care

• We continued to make care safer, more effective and more person-centred

• We choose to learn together

• We share and renew our ethics and values

• We make the right thing easier to do

• We get ready for the next curve

“The Scottish Patient Safety Programme is without doubt one of the most ambitious patient safety initiatives in the world – national in scale, bold in aims, and disciplined in science.  It

harnesses the energies and wisdom of Scotland’s health care leaders –NHS executives, QIS experts, clinical professionals,

civil servants, and more – all aligned toward a common vision, making Scotland the safest nation on earth from the viewpoint

of health care.”
