Culture Camp
The Coaching Academy Culture Camp is a series of online events where we explore organisational culture, looking at wellbeing, equity and innovation as well as collaborative working across the system. The full videos of our excellent and high-profile speakers from past events are available on YouTube.
You will be able to catch up on three sessions:
- On December 1 2022, Culture Camp focused on collaboration between the health and care sectors with fascinating insight from people working in the both areas of the system.
- In August 2022, we welcomed nearly 200 people to discuss culture in the integrated care system, a timely topic, during a half-day online session.
- Exploring organisational culture from the perspectives of wellbeing, equity and innovation was the topic for spring 2021. We presented a two-day online event discussing people and mind-sets, relationships and systems, and strategy and sutstainability. The second day was an 'unconference' sharing learning.
