“Our staff and volunteers are at the heart of Bolton Hospice, and we are committed to supporting our team in looking after their wellbeing so they are able to continue to provide excellent care to our patients and loved ones. We sourced the Caring For Your Teams programme to empower our people managers, helping to ensure that they have the skills and tools necessary to look after their own wellbeing, and that of their teams, so that our people – and in turn our organisation – continues to thrive.”

Team Boo were delighted to support the Leadership Team at Remarkable Autism with our two day Support, Lead, Inspire programme , aligning this to the newly developed values and behaviours framework, supporting leaders to listen with compassion, have the courage of their convictions and to be Remarkable.

This ambition means that each and everyone of our colleagues needs to work to the best of their ability and as an organisation we need to support them to do so. Our world class organisation needs world class leaders, leaders who want to nurture and coach their teams to be the very best they can be. Leaders who believe in our organisations values and live these every day through the work that they do.”

The concept of Caring for Yourself and Caring For Your Teams is deeply rooted in our experience of delivering large scale learning interventions across multiple sites around wellbeing, leadership and coaching. What we have uncovered is that those people tasked with the delivery of care of the most vulnerable, seldom put their health and wellbeing needs above others. They are consistently reporting a serious lack of personal self-care, which is impacting on workplace wellbeing, mental health and sickness absence.
Our approach encourages investment in individual wellbeing, which leads to the creation of a resilient workforce, which in turn, has a positive impact on patients and carers and positively contributes to the organisation’s ability to deliver high quality care. This programme gave so many staff an opportunity to reflect on what works for them in a time of great challenge and uncertainty.

In spring 2020 – as we were all figuring out how best to support our colleagues across the NHS – we were invited to help to create a coaching culture at Sherwood Forest NHS FT. Obviously, we leapt at the chance to share our ideas and showcase our Curious Conversations programme.
“Curious Conversations” is a two-day programme aimed at creating a coaching culture in an organisation. It offers leaders and future leaders the opportunity to explore their approach to using a coaching style of leadership. In a complex environment of formal and social networks, coaching can help leaders work across and break through barriers.
“The opportunity to learn new skills and refine existing ones in a well-paced and friendly environment.” – Curious Conversations Participant, 2021.

“The delivery style was very engaging, quite clever actually, you didn’t really see it as a course, more a journey of self-exploration and change”
“I honestly, whole heartedly would recommend Boo to everyone – From first contact to last contact, they are just absolutely fantabulous!!” – Sara Haydri, CMI Coaching & Mentoring Participant 2020.

A report on the impact of unique wellbeing interventions for staff across the Northern Care Alliance in 2021.
“Will definitely be recommending to colleagues – I think the fact that people arrived late or had to leave early is testimony to the fact that we rarely prioritise ourselves as healthcare professionals – appreciate sometimes it can’t be helped but we can’t give out to others if we are stretched ourselves.
Thank you.”

Bolton’s Vision as an Integrated Care Partnership is that people will be involved in their own health and wellbeing with the aim of staying well for longer in their own homes, as part of a strong, connected and engaged communities.
To deliver a changed relationship between the Bolton people and staff we need to change the way we work. We wanted our staff to be empowered to have a different conversation with local people. One that sees the whole person and puts them at the heart of everything we do. To do this, we are committed to creating the conditions including reviewing policy and practices to allow staff to work in this new way, enabling them to focus on prevention and early intervention supporting people to connect to their community.
We sought to commission a culture change programme to enable our workforce to have different conversations with the people of Bolton.
We chose Boo to deliver our programme because of their local knowledge and commitment to Bolton; its people and the place, their strong history of co-production and co design and ability to engage with a wide range of people and stakeholders.
