Working with Health Professionals to grow as leaders and provide excellent care.
There is an increasing body of evidence on the impact of good leadership on performance in health care organisations. There is a strong connection between good leadership and quality improvement which leads to a good organisational climate which is likely to produce sustainable, high performing organisations especially with regard quality and safety improvement and patient care and experience.
360 Feedback is an appraisal tool that has been developed specifically for Health Professionals. It has been working with nurses at all levels of leadership since 2007. It was devised on the understanding and the importance of interpersonal behaviour as well as clinical competence in providing both excellent patient care and working well as a team. One of the questionnaires has been adapted to align with the Nursing Council New Zealand Competencies for Registered Nurses. It can therefore be used as a tool when carrying out the annual appraisal process or for general growth and development of the nursing workforce. However, questionnaires can be tailor made to incorporate your organisational competencies. 360 Feedback is one of the best ways of enhancing self awareness and understanding the impact you have on others. This in turn assists with the Challenge, Support and Deliver Results cycle.
How CQC 360 Feedback can help
The 360 Feedback itself needs to be part of a wider development focus, not just an appraisal tick box. Both the right questionnaire and well structured feedback facilitation are critical to getting real development, behavioural change and service improvement as a result of 360 Feedback.
