Currently on mat leave from the Fund, so not across all of our fantastic outputs, but I never miss a podcast! This episode is incredible - so much to learn from @DrWaheedArian’s story - thank you for sharing it and to @RuthRobbo and the team for bringing it to us.
Great pleasure to feature on @TheKingsFund podcast and speak with @RuthRobbo about compassionate leadership.
I'm sharing some of the lessons I've learned from surviving diseases and warzones, achieving professional privilege as a physician, and founding/ leading two organisations.
One of the most important attributes of leadership I've found to be valuing each member and partner, regardless of their background, as a deserving human being giving them the respect, voice and means to find purpose and development in the jobs they do. They shouldn't be treated as another 'number' or 'grade'.
I remembered one event when my treating doctor in a refugee camp told me I would be a doctor one day, only guessing from my curiosity. I still remember his words and now I am mindful how my interactions and words might impact others personally and professionally.
I hope you will give this a listen.
Our actions can save lives and our words can transform futures. Let compassion guide us.
Happy to say we've just launched our new website - kingsfund.org.uk - with an improved IA and search, brighter design and better UX. Let us know what you think!

▪️ The #NHS is a bottomless pit
▪️ The NHS is inefficient
▪️ GPs aren't working hard enough to meet demand for appointments
▪️ The government has 'fixed' social care
▪️ The NHS is being privatised
