Topic: Cultural Intelligence (CQ): An Essential Skill for NHS
The Cultural Intelligence Centre is delighted to welcome you to a very special event led by David Livermore, Co-Founder of the Cultural Intelligence Centre and one of the foremost experts on Cultural Intelligence (CQ), and Shahana Ramsden, Director of Vaccination Workforce and Vaccine Equalities Lead, and Co-chair of the Turning the Tide Board in the SE Region.
We know that UK health care professionals are serving an incredibly diverse population. However, the pandemic amplified health disparities and cultural differences surrounding protection, care, vaccines, and more. Dr Livermore will introduce you to cultural intelligence (CQ) – a scientifically based model for working collaboratively in diverse settings – and you will hear practical examples of how to use CQ in your everyday role including a presentation from Shahana about how her team are actively implementing CQ in the NHS.
Light refreshments will be provided.
David Livermore, PhD (Michigan State University) is a social scientist devoted to the topics of cultural intelligence (CQ) and global leadership, and is the author of several award-winning books, including Leading with Cultural Intelligence, Driven by Difference, and Serving with Eyes Wide Open. His forthcoming book, Digital, Diverse & Divided, addresses one of the most pressing issues of our day–how to overcome polarisation in our personal and professional relationships.
