Lesley works with organisations to improve team effectiveness. It is their ability to communicate across disciplines, value the role of others and demonstrate trust and mutual support that promotes quality and effective business outcomes.
Her experience with healthcare industries to promote and sustain multidisciplinary and cross sector working has focussed on people, processes and systems to identify problems, resolve conflict, and improve relationships so that team engagement can progress.
Building a Collaborative Culture: Lesley’s approach is one of drawing on theory and facilitating the resolution process through a framework that supports and informs the way teams and individuals can work through conflict to determine a mutually agreeable outcome.
What people say:
“Dr Hughes has a wealth of experience across many facets of both the health and higher education sectors. A registered nurse and chartered psychologist, this combination gives her a unique experience and insight into the problems of working in the complex healthcare environment. Of particular note is her experience in developing and maintain interprofessional learning initiatives and systems across a range of health disciplines; an education process known to be problematic without careful planning and negotiation. Her practice is informed by the latest available evidence as she is also a serious academic and researcher as the number of her publications testify. Her advice is highly prized by a number of national and international bodies.”
