The power of purpose | Prerana Issar | TEDxNHS

Prerana Issar is the first NHS People Officer. Prior to this she led the development of the United Nation’s first strategic human capital approach. Throughout her career she has seen examples of people doing incredible things because they gave voice, space and shape to their sense of purpose. So how do we take the power of purpose and turn it into our super power? Shining a light on some of the incredible individuals she’s come across during her time in the NHS, Prerana encourages us to make our purpose explicit. To organise our time and work around that golden thread of purpose. To take small steps and big actions to change lives and impact others with the power of our purpose. Prerana Issar is the first NHS Chief People Officer. In joining the NHS, Prerana brings a wealth of expertise in leadership development and strategic talent management, as well as diversity and inclusion. Prior to joining the NHS Prerana was Director for Public-Private Partnerships at the United Nations, leading the development of the United Nation's first strategic human capital approach. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

The paradox is: when you say your purpose. You question it. You are actually disempowered by the NHS juggernaut. That's why, the end is near for the NHS - it is self-combusting - whistleblowers are countless, paramedics, nurses, doctors and ancillary staff have a purpose - to leave the NHS and question the mistrustful, opaque and unapproachable entity that the NHS is - skilled people being head hunted by advanced employers, a purposeful globally sought after workforce that will go on strike in December 2022 and leave an employer rattled and accountable, warped by it's territorial and vague management hierarchy and neglect of its workers. Patient centeredness lost the carer in the equation. How very tragic. Absent from the real people, the carer became the patient. Forgotten and misused. An NHS which does not liberate and empower, but belittles, shackles and scapegoats its workers, and instils a culture of fear, racism, monitoring and surveillance. How very awkward.
