Origins of Kitbag

• Signs of mental distress around the world
• No job for life, no partner for life, no time for
  life
• In over our heads
• Repond with denial or despair
• But we can respond differently
• We can grow

Kitbags underlying philosophy

Kitbag in the NHS

• Living our Local Values
• NHS Fife
• Senior nurses, managers, chaplain
• Student OTs

Living our local values

• Kitbag provided a safe environment for staff
  to raise issues they otherwise might have found
  difficult to discuss. I think it could help staff
  to embed their values, provide support for them
  to live their values and be used to hold people
  to account in living their values.

Kitbag in NHS Fife

• I think all senior charge nurses or senior
  managers or anyone that has a stressful job
  should be given one as an essential stress
  management tool
• Kitbag helps me remain calm when dealing with
  stressful situations, allow time to re-group or
  re-gather my thoughts and allow time for me to
  listen and to speak without interruptions

Kitbag in NHS Fife

• Kitbag helped me concentrate and focus on
  getting better. it helped me to cope with the
  pain I experience both pre and post-operatively.
  
• Kitbag is a good tool/resource to help you
  see where you are and where you are going, while
  giving comfort and strength for the journey.

Student OTs

• The most interesting element that I observed
  emerging was that all the students engaged in
  identifying why becoming an occupational
  therapist was important to them and how they
  wanted to make their practice more enriching.

Kitbag in the NHS

• An open system, can be personalised, added to,
  used in groups and teams
• Developing a ward friendly version
• Insights within Kitbag can be scaled up to
  nurture transformative change in services
