DR FRAUKE DINGELSTAD

I wanted to thank you for coming to us and facilitating our training afternoon. I enjoyed your training session on communication including your presentation of the five team dysfunctions.

Since the meeting I have observed people making little changes into how we communicate with each other and certainly the section on adjusting to other communication styles is proving really helpful. 

I will be sharing your resources with my registrars to help them to get greater insight into their ways of communicating and help them to develop more self-knowledge early on.

Thank you so much.

LIZ MADDOCKS-BROWN

Thank you so much for your time, energy and great thoughts today.

I really think the work we are doing will get much better traction this year as a result of your input and we have some great ideas to take forward. 

We will keep you up to speed with next steps and developments and look forward to working closely with you over the next few months to make the vision and reality.

DR ANTHONY JONES

Tara helped us in establishing West Kent CEPN (a clinical learning hub spanning West Kent CCG). She was instrumental in helping to overcome blockages that had previously prevented us moving forward with this agenda, and was highly efficient in putting together a business plan within a tight time frame. Her unique insight into this particular area built confidence into the steering group allowing us to be freed up to develop our own unique vision.

DR MARILYN PLANT

Tara has been appointed as interim chief operating officer for Richmond Community Education Provider Network (RCEPN).

Her role included organisational oversight and project management across a complex and fast changing provider and workforce commissioning landscape and required her to engage with a large number of Stakeholders to represent and further the interests of the CEPN.

Tara was also successful in leading the CEPN in a competitive national bidding process engaging with the Clinical Commissioning Group and Richmond GP Alliance to secure an externally funded project with the National Association of Primary Care.

She has a broad understanding of the primary care context and the workforce commissioning role of Health Education England. She likes to face a challenge and does so with flexibility, energy and enthusiasm.

She is a responsive colleague and a pleasure to work with.

DEE KELLETT

Thank you Tara for your expertise, professionalism and vision whilst ESBT set up their CEPN. You really helped us to understand a wider vision and could not have succeeded so well without your support.

REBECCA MCMANUS

I found the discussion so useful and a powerful message! I feel much more able to support staff in becoming Allies and this will help in training, such as Dignity at Work, etc! I recently had a discussion with a member of staff about this very problem and I myself will admit I am often nervous about getting a name wrong. This really helped me see how best to approach this situation. Tara was brilliant!

DR SARA BUTLER-GALLIE

I just want to take a moment to thank you for your weekly email.

Your wisdom and straightforward thinking are inspirational and just what I needed this afternoon. It can sometimes feel like you are emailing into a void but just wanted you to know they are read and hit the spot!
