Okay, Indeed, I get that you are trying to do a good thing. I would like some parts of the USA to get better at dealing with all sorts of individuals, including those in the LGBT+ Community. However, I'm also completely against this action for a simple reason - ableism. As Ci-gender woman that has well-controlled Epilepsy, I've been discriminated against within my own workplace (Walmart being the worst). I asked for reasonable accommodations and the Scheduling manager (i.e. Personal) kept scheduling me in ways that went against my accommodations and/or "kept forgetting" about the Epilepsy. I had to go to corporate to get help, and their Sedgwick thought that demotion = accommodation, which is why I ended up quitting that job for good. Keep in mind, I'm someone disabled that can: legal drive most of the time, hold a job, be able to attend college classes, advocate for herself, etc. Many people with both visible disabilities and/or invisible disabilities CAN"T keep a job due to how the ADA is ignored and/or interrupted by various organizations. If you want full inclusivity, help the people that were messed up by complete happenstance FIRST. Find a way to make employers understand the ADA and work with the ADA, PROPERLY.

March is #BCorpMonth – so it’s time to talk about how B Corps lead the way to a better future, and how, together, we’re moving access to healthcare forward and using our business as a force for good. At Simplyhealth we’re committed to improving access to healthcare for all in the UK. It’s the purpose that leads us forwards as an organisation and led to us becoming the UK’s first B Corp health plan provider in 2022. Being a B Corp is our genuine (and legal) commitment to care for our customers, our community, the environment, and our colleagues. We know that business as usual is causing the planet and its people a whole load of problems, but being a B Corp means moving forward to do business responsibly, leading the way to a better future. It isn’t a destination, it’s a continuous journey. We’ll never stop looking for ways to be a more responsible business. And we’ll never stop working to improve access to healthcare for all in the UK. We’ll be sharing more through the month and beyond about how we’re living up to our B Corp status and you can find out more on our website:  https://lnkd.in/e5c4PciY

Back in the office following the NHS Providers 2023 Annual conference armed with lots of practical insight to apply in my role at NHS Practitioner Health. Some key themes and reflections from a fantastic 2 days: 1. Moving away from "short-termism" - A theme which ran through the whole conference with reference on the importance of this in every session I attended. A resounding collective agreement that we must shift our focus from short term wins and invest in change for the long-term. "We can't, we won't, relent on the focus of recovery, but we must have an eye on the longer term" - Amanda Pritchard CEO NHS England While the ever shifting political agenda and priorities makes this particularly difficult, it was encouraging to see long-term vision and strategies shared by all delivery partners, and some real examples of how we can embed this vision at an organisational level. Making QI everyone's business and delivering it at scale. 2. #collaboration - From working together with other NHS providers, the voluntary sector, as well as widening the net to include our social care partners, the importance of working in partnership at place was clear. Positive differences on quality of life, not just on quality of care, can be achieved if we work together. Collaboration and being cognizant of the provider landscape, as well as knowing your population, is the only way we can get upstream and deliver prevention (and preservation - Kiran Patel and address #healthinequalities 3. Staff investment - If the NHS is to achieve any of the above, we must give power back to staff at all levels. Investing time, resource, and focus on #inclusion, #development, and connecting and engaging with staff to embed and maintain a sense of shared purpose, whatever the role in the organisation. A recognition too on the importance of promoting co-production with and inclusive of staff and engaging early in service developments and digital innovation. All this can lead to a more present and productive workforce who feel empowered and part of the change. “Staff perform better if they feel safe at work” - Saffron Cordery As Julian Hartley said in his opening keynote "Leadership in the NHS is a deeply serious privilege". I'm looking forward to applying these take-homes in my role as Director of Operations to support positive change for staff, patients, and stakeholders here at NHSPH. Looking forward to returning next year! #NHSP23
