Our programmes focus on building capability and capacity to develop person-centred workplace cultures. FoNS believes all individuals should experience health and social care as person-centred, safe and effective. This includes those who are receiving care and those who are giving care.

  • We enable learning in and from practice through reflection
  • We tailor programmes to meet the needs of the organisation or team
  • We draw upon theoretically based models and frameworks
  • We facilitate online or in person

All FoNS facilitators have extensive facilitation experience

FoNS programmes are designed to start at the foundational level: that is the culture of the workplace. The culture of the workplace is what influences recruitment and retention, staff wellbeing, experiences of care and the sustainability of quality improvement activities. Our experience has shown us that measures designed to solve specific ‘problems’ will not work unless the underlying workplace culture is open, caring and person-centred. But culture change takes time and is a complex process.

FoNS programmes are designed to develop leaders and staff members in the workplace who can start to look at the culture of the workplace. Ultimately, it is only the people who work in an organisation that can influence the culture, and FoNS programmes are designed to develop the skills of individuals in leading and facilitating culture change, to develop more person-centred cultures of care. We believe this approach is sustainable; the expertise lies with the organisation’s members of staff. Our approaches are collaborative and participatory, learning is experienced and tried out in the workplace. Furthermore, we promote inclusivity, leaders include colleagues and people who receive care and their families.
