Psychological Safety (Psychological)

Description

In a Psychologically Safe environment, people feel safe to speak up. They share their concerns, ask questions, and offer ideas without fear of being ignored or belittled.

Within a Psychologically Safe environment, people ‘Speak Up’ and ‘Listen Up’… opening up new and honest conversations which give everyone the chance to avoid harmful outcomes and to develop constructive solutions.

Psychological Safety is crucial if people are to do their best work. It can be influenced by anyone within a team, including Managers, Nurses, Doctors, Consultants.
