The patient-clinician interface is the most sacrosanct space in healthcare.

How well we inhabit that space informs how well we deliver care.

A system is perfectly designed to deliver the results it does, so if those results include preventable errors - fatigue, burnout, bullying and 'never' events - then something is amiss.

In Authenticity, change becomes possible.

Nurses:

Awesome today; Awesome tomorrow; Awesome always.

But only ever human.

And only ever as good as the system allows us to be.

Increasing the technical skill of a health care clinician makes for incremental change.

Improve the culture within which we work and suddenly quantum change is possible.

Patient safety and clinician wellbeing are functional imperatives.

Authenticity is the key driver towards reducing healthcare delivery risk.

Choose to agree or disagree, but only the brave will seek to understand.

"Pete Smith is just a guy at the shallow end of the gene pool. He spent the first five years of his life under a farmhouse playing in the dirt with his Matchbox(R) cars. He spent the next eleven years surrounded by cows. His brother, Greg, five years older, had severe Down Syndrome. Greg was much, much cooler than Pete could ever be. So how did this kid who knew more about cows than humans end up as a career nurse? And how did this unpolished introvert finish up philosophising on nursing? The world is a mysterious place. Some would say complex, dangerous and chaotic. But really, it is quite simple if we allow it to be. When he is not doing farming stuff, drinking coffee with his awe-inspiring wife or chopping Granny's wood, he may be found in his Cognitive Laboratory conversing with his totally awesome international collaborators and constructing mind maps on whiteboards. Pete's motto? ""I think, therefore I ... ummm?"""
