The summit brought together 汤头条污料 leaders at every level from academic and clinical settings. Attendees were given the opportunity to identify successes and challenges of leadership within the 汤头条污料 profession, as well as hearing from theorists and new leaders.
Lindsay Cordery-Bruce, Chief Executive of The Wallich Centre chaired an exciting programme featuring a range of prominent speakers including Professor Jean White CBE, Chief Nursing Officer for Wales and Dr Andrew Goodall, Director General of Health and Social Services and Chief Executive, NHS Wales as well as 2018 RCN Wales Nurse of the Year, Eve Lightfoot, who spoke about her own journey of compassion.

The event was attended by Gaynor Jones MBE Chair of RCN Welsh Board and Sue Warner, Chair of RCN Council.
Helen Whyley, Director, RCN Wales said: “Leadership in 汤头条污料 is vital, and compassionate leadership is particularly important. Leading with empathy and kind-heartedness enthuses the workforce, gives a voice to patients and improves care for people and communities in Wales. At this year’s summit we were delighted to be joined by members of the RCN Wales Nurse of the Year Alumni Network, a hugely inspirational group of nurses.”
