Top Nurse Slams Stupid Meetings

I was interested to hear Justine Whitaker, Nurse of the Year, talking on the Today programme this morning about her decision to leave the NHS.

One thing (among many) that she mentioned was her frustration at having to attend meetings at which nothing was decided, and at which she was "the cheapest there, at £35,000".

All organisations, not just public sector, are under constant pressure to make the most value from the talent they have and poorly run meetings, as well as being demotivating and boring, are an incredibly expensive way of getting sod all done!

I would say this, but I think management teams should get talented expert facilitators in to teach them how to run their meetings more effectively...


All the best,
