The Syndeo programme
The Syndeo: A leadership behaviour, quality improvement, and networking programme has been designed with the Royal College of Midwives and Enono for Band 7 leaders to help them connect better with themselves, their team, their colleagues and to grow healthier workplace cultures. This programme does this by using various international recognised products, theories, and frameworks to include the Five Behaviorsā¢ of a Cohesive Team and Everything DiSCĀ® Workplace Profile Assessment. For more information about the two key productsĀ The Five Behaviors videoĀ andĀ Everything DiSC video.
Why should Band 7 midwifery leaders participate in the programme?
In light of the findings from the Ockenden (2022) and Kirkup (2022) Reports, leadership is critical in the modern NHS. Band 7 leaders such as labour ward coordinators and team leaders have a key position in maternity services to support and foster positive workplace cultures and ensure safe and effective care delivery within their teams. Cooperation lies at the heart of human lives, society, and our workplace from day-to-day interactions to some of our greatest personal and workplace endeavours.
