Who are SELF?
SELF (trading name) for SELF (Self Education Learning Framework) Ltd., is a company limited by guarantee and was registered in March, 2022. It was inspired by a registered nurse Manager, who spent 8 years caring for 79 Residents and managing 116 staff, whom she found also had caring needs due to long term conditions. She identified the need for the staff to learn to administer their own self-care management and for them to be empowered to take responsibility for their own well-being. Apart from caring for the residents, staff had to learn more about their own conditions and work with their healthcare professionals to know when to ask for help and for them to be respected as part of the team, in being concerned about their own healthcare and well-being, also to embrace a healthy lifestyle.
So, what needs to be done for staff to care for their health? The implied, “do as I say” approach, have not been effective in treating long- term conditions, because it does not empower self-care management nor does it encourage individuals to gain knowledge and skills to take responsibility and learn from healthcare professionals to manage their own care themselves.
Sybil Wright, Founder of SELF (Self Education Learning Framework) Ltd
Sybil writes, “I feel privileged to lead and inspired a dedicated team of registered healthcare professionals to give support and informed advice to people who has healthcare concerns and are already managing 95% of their care. My culture of truth, love and compassion enables me to focus my team’s attention on caring deeply about the physical, emotional and spiritual well-being of each individual with their own health concerns. I believed that the more we care for the happiness of others the greater our sense of well-being.
I come from a long line of caring grand parents, mothers and fathers who shaped me into the person I am today and I am most grateful to them. They taught me to see the world from other people’s perspectives and act respectfully and responsibly . I will always want to understand in detail the needs and expectations of people and provide them with personalised care, so they feel valued and supported as unique being.
I have watched my parents, brother, sister and much loved friends require care and support. This made me more determine to always wanting to make a positive difference. Building on these personal experiences, I am equally determine to be a better nurse educator to the Extended Family I’ve acquired through my work collaboration. I have dedicated my professional work to provide care and leadership that is holistic.
