True Tales of Organisational Life

Author(s) : Barbara-Anne Wren

Reviews and Endorsements

‘The NHS remains a noble ideal to which the majority of patients and staff are connected by a metaphorical umbilical cord despite the challenges it faces. In this book Barbara-Anne Wren skilfully explores the stresses and strains involved in remaining human while delivering optimal care.’
- Professor John Pepper, OBE, consultant cardiothoracic surgeon, Royal Brompton Hospital

‘In this fascinating book, Barbara-Anne Wren describes the spaces she has created to help staff temporarily separate from the dance of organisational life while ensuring that the psychological work stays close to its movement. The tales she tells take us into the dance, move in tune with the dancer, and lead us through the steps of some of the more memorable ones. An impressive, accessible and moving book.’
- Professor Jamie Hacker Hughes, President of the British Psychological Society

‘Schwartz Rounds have the power to change healthcare. This book, replete with real-life narrative, is itself the story of how to put the patient right at the centre of care. In doing so, it provides a key to a space that will allow health professionals to rediscover the joy of caring.’
- Dr Muiris Houston, Adjunct Professor of Medical Humanities, Trinity College Dublin; columnist and health analyst at The Irish Times
