Kindness in the Workplace | Improving Wellbeing, Safety & Student Experience

How do kindness, civility, and psychological safety shape the healthcare workplace? In this recorded CPD session, Dr Christina Malamateniou, Dr Julie Hendry, and Dr Stamatia Papathanasiou explore why kindness is not simply a personal value, but a fundamental component of staff wellbeing, patient safety, productivity, and positive student experiences. Whether you're a healthcare professional, educator, student, or leader, this session examines the realities of modern healthcare environments and the impact workplace culture has on individuals, teams, learning, and organisational performance. Drawing on extensive expertise in radiography, healthcare education, leadership, compassionate care, and research, the speakers discuss how respectful communication, psychologically safe workplaces, and compassionate leadership create healthier, more effective healthcare systems. In this session, we explore: • Why kindness and civility matter in healthcare workplaces • The role of compassionate and servant leadership in creating positive workplace cultures • How to recognise bullying, harassment, discrimination, and behaviours that undermine psychological safety • The importance of active bystanders and civility training in addressing harmful workplace behaviours • The impact of workplace hostility, including Tall Poppy Syndrome, on confidence and collaboration • The growing challenge of verbal abuse, online aggression, and violence in healthcare settings • How psychologically safe cultures improve wellbeing, retention, teamwork, patient care, and student experiences This session is designed for healthcare professionals, radiographers, students, educators, managers, and clinical leaders who want to better understand how workplace behaviours influence both people and performance, while developing practical approaches to creating kinder, safer, and more inclusive healthcare environments. By the end of the session, you'll have a deeper understanding of how workplace culture shapes wellbeing, safety, learning, and organisational success, along with practical insights into fostering environments built on kindness, civility, and psychological safety. 👉 Looking for ongoing CPD support?
