SUMMARY:Session 1 - Loving the NHS (Without Adoring It)
DESCRIPTION:This is the first of three 90-minute themed sessions supporting senior leaders\, with a focus on reflection\, resilience and discernment through the Thinking Environment. Designed for those navigating change in complex roles.  The series continues with Session 2: The Tragic Gap and Session 3: Navigating Change and Uncertainty. \nAbout the session:\nMany healthcare leaders feel a deep pull to “give back” to the NHS — a kind of vocational loyalty that fuels purpose\, but can also create personal strain. This session invites participants to pause and reflect on the cost of this sense of obligation. Drawing on Nancy Kline’s insight that love welcomes scrutiny\, while adoration resists it\, we explore how to stay committed to a system we also need to question. \nWe’ll use the Thinking Environment® to hold a space where honesty\, affection\, frustration and hope can all be present. This isn’t a workshop about critique — it’s a space to discern what loving the NHS really means for each of us. \nObjectives: \n\nTo explore participants’ emotional and professional connection to the NHS.\nTo create space for critical reflection without fear of disloyalty.\nTo introduce the Thinking Environment® as a way to hold tension between care and scrutiny.\n\nOutcomes: \n\nParticipants will gain language and confidence to examine their loyalty to the NHS more discerningly.\nThey will experience a way of thinking that allows both affection and challenge.\nThey will leave with a deeper sense of clarity and internal permission to reflect\, without abandoning commitment.\n\nWho’s the session for?\nThese sessions are for Senior Health Leaders working across the South East who play a pivotal role within the region’s Integrated Care Systems (ICSs). This includes leaders working at provider level\, General Practice\, within an Integrated Care Board (ICB)\, across Community sector or as part of a partner organisation.  \nBook your Place:\nBookings have now closed but if you would like to attend\, please email us at england.setalentandleadership@nhs.net. \nPlease book your place via the green RSVP ‘Going’ button below.
