The Handover: Building registered managers who thrive with Katie Wordley

Katie Wordley moved through frontline services, care coordination and procurement before taking the Chief Operating Officer role at Eleanor Healthcare Group. She now runs operations for more than 1,500 staff supporting over 3,000 people across nine counties.

In this session she goes through how much room a registered manager needs to run a service, and what has to be in place before you can give it. Where she draws the line between supporting a manager and interfering. What she puts around someone before handing them a service. And how long it took her to stop treating stepping back as a risk.

What you'll leave with

Every Handover speaker closes with the three things they would tell you if you were sitting in their office.
