When this pandemic is over you will know a lot more about your
staff/ managers . A crisis brings out the strength in some and the
weaknesses in others. It will not necessarily have been the most
experienced or knowledgable who remained calm and inspired confidence.
It will not necessarily be those with the formal qualifications who
showed themselves able to adapt quickly to the new...

What has the coronavirus crisis told us about residential care? It
has told us that residential care puts older people at far greater
risk, which is ironic since the biggest reason for admission is the
perceived risk of remaining at home.
Life expectancy in residential care for older people is 2 to 3 years
and often less. Residential care for most people over 80 is not a

The characteristics of effective leadership are the same in normal
times as they are during a crisis. The difference is that during a
crisis there is a temptation for leaders to do too much, to get over
involved, to become to narrowly focused and neglect their role in
anticipating the challenges further down the road.
A recent article in the Harvard Business Review identified the

null The Balloon Debate
Did you ever have a balloon debate at school? One day my younger
brother came home from primary school and as we sat round the tea
table told us that he had won the ballon debate. This was a new one on
us older kids so he explained that it involved being the last one to
get thrown out of an air ballon. This turned out to be not as
dangerous as it sounded but just as violent. A group...

The governments of the world conspire to keep the news of the end
of the world from their populations. This is the premise of a
Hollywood disaster movie. Fear of panic , mass hysteria and the
complete breakdown of law and order persuades governments around the
world to keep the impending doom an official secret. The worlds
greatest scientists race to come up with a plan to save...

What has this Pandemic told us about how people behave in a
crisis and how the authorities should manage that behaviour. Panic
buying causing unnecessary shortages, having a big last night out
before the lockdown officially starts and ignoring social distancing
to go for a walk in the countryside whilst the weather is good, these
all appear examples of selfish, irresponsible...

If it’s no longer about money, about budget cuts or being more
efficient. If it’s about being practice led rather than finance
driven, if it’s about effectiveness rather than cost then one outcome
of the response to Convid might be to finally make a reality of the
integration of health and social care.
If hospitals are not to be overwhelmed then patients need to be
moved to nursing...

null Crisis management
A crisis is exciting. Crisis management is a series of boring
meetings to plan for something that may never happen. There are so
many immediate and obvious challenges facing an organisation that very
few senior managers/ chief executives/ board members get excited about
joining the working group. Which explains why the person appointed to
chair the group is someone who wasn’t...
