Medical and Care
Training in the Medical and Care Sector
The team at Expressions have the honour of working with a wide range of organisations representing different sectors and in different countries.
With the new acquisition programme Expressions was commissioned to assist the global growth with 11 different companies in as many different countries, working with the senior leaders of the newly formed global powerhouse we created a series of road shows to present the roadmap as well as engages hearts and put minds at rest through this large-scale change. We designed 5 innovation stations capturing the ideas of the people that will be delivering the results which led to a number of innovation projects realising these ideas for performance improvement for both external and internal customers alike.
All organisations have a purpose and connecting to that purpose ensures there is cultural and behavioural alignment. Occasionally the team get to work with organisations with a very clear and demonstrable purpose and non-so more important than in the medical and care sectors.
Despite this clear and evident purpose, it is often obscured by the day-to-day challenges that exist in every organisation. By keeping the purpose at the heart of everything the organisation does the individuals that contribute to the teams that enable the success are aligned and working with fluidity.
That isn’t to say that there are never any issues, but the issues are minor and easily rectified. Expressions is immensely proud to work with a number of different organisations within the medical and care sectors assisting them to further improve their performance so they can deliver world-class care and support for their customer/patient base.
The following denote some of the instances where Expressions have designed and delivered programmes:
Research Organisation
Our remit has been to further enable Cultural Architecture for a world-class cancer research institute. This includes a 4-year transformation programme to ensure they are fit for purpose whilst remaining true to their vision.
Aligning the functions within the organisation to ensure everyone is playing their contributory part and they are appreciated and respected for doing what they do.
This creates a positive culture where the majority of people want to perform. All too often, individuals, teams and organisations continue with tasks and behaviours because this is what they have always done.
National Health Service – NHS
Front-line NHS is stretched and has been for more years than we care to admit.
Without a meaningful large-scale plan to resolve this, it is left to the individual components of the service to find ways to ease the tension and increase the provision.
The front desk team in all GP centres are faced with challenging situations. Not least because of the growing frustrations about the state of the NHS, but also because the majority of their visitors are unwell from a wide variety of ailments and so they are not feeling their best selves.
Behaviour breeds behaviour and as such the reception team is often affected and contributes to the situation which never helps find a pastoral approach.
Expressions created the Patient First programme for an increasingly busy health centre. This included increasing self-awareness and appreciation whilst improving assertiveness and the associated micro-skills that enhanced the patient experience and minimised any adverse reactions to heightened frustration.

Medical Equipment Organisation
Starting with Leadership development for a global cryogenics and incubator business the remit was to assist the senior leadership team to implement their 3-year strategic business plan in line with the growth of the wider global business via acquisitions.
By further enabling the business and functional leaders they created a set of core values all focusing on achieving a shared vision which was launched and received very well by the rest of the organisation.
Shifting the culture from a traditional manufacturing operation to a purpose lead growth business and bringing in new talent mentored by experience and wisdom this organisation is going from strength to strength.
Progressing with team development to further improve the interdependence of the organisation provides a clear opportunity to work harmoniously and take the organisation into the next 50 years.
I have had the privilege of working with Simon Thorpe and the Expressions Partnership team for over a decade in various capacities. Throughout this time, Simon has consistently demonstrated an exceptional ability to transform organisations through his visionary approach and practical delivery.
Most recently, Simon played a pivotal role in shaping the cultural architecture of the newly formed Nexpring organisation. His leadership in designing and delivering a series of global roadshows created an inclusive platform that communicated the future direction of the business while capturing innovative ideas from employees across regions. This collaborative approach ensured that every voice was heard and contributed to the organisation’s transformation journey.
Over the years, I have witnessed Simon’s leadership academies empower individuals and teams to unlock their potential, driving sustainable change and growth. His ability to combine strategic insight with hands-on engagement makes him a trusted partner for any organisation seeking cultural alignment and leadership excellence.
I would highly recommend Expressions Partnership to any organisation looking to inspire, engage, and transform their workforce.
