Thoughts?
@mrsbosanquet.bsky.social
Recently, Grace Cook, Person-Centred Practice Facilitator at the Foundation of Nursing Studies (FoNS), was invited to join Ruth Germaine on her podcast SoWhoCaresAnyway to discuss how Resilience-Based Clinical Supervision (RBCS) is shaping workforce wellbeing, recruitment, and person-centred care. Their conversation explores how structured reflection strengthens teams, the impact of emotional regulation in workplace culture, and how positive reframing helps professionals navigate challenges more effectively. They also highlight the role of compassionate leadership in reducing service demand while improving staff wellbeing. This discussion shows how RBCS fosters resilience not just for individuals but across entire teams, enabling professionals to provide person-centred care while maintaining their own wellbeing.

Resilience is relational.

When you're up in the night with grumpy kids, or trying to manage work pressures, knowing people care about you & are rooting for you matters a lot.

Great blog! I'm often dismayed to hear people talk about supervisions being ✔️box or only about work performance. Life & work are intrinsically linked, we can't always leave the proverbial baggage at the door. It's important to feel there is someone to talk to anytime, not waiting until supervision.
