OPP launches MBTI report for healthcare professionals, UK
Leading workplace psychologists, OPP, have launched a dedicated personality report for those working on the frontline of healthcare. The Myers-Briggs Report for Healthcare Professionals applies Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) insights to help doctors, nurses, healthcare assistants and other clinical staff foster a more mutually rewarding patient-centred service.
Written specifically for healthcare professionals, the report highlights the impact of personality preference on style of care; provides actionable insight and suggestions for flexing care style; and explains why misunderstandings and conflicts may arise when giving care. As a result, the report can help anyone involved in patient care to:
keep patients better informedshow patients that they are listening to themcreate a supportive environmenthelp patients manage the side effects of treatmentsupport post-care transition.The report also describes the impact of work stress as it affects care style, and provides tangible advice for building resilience.
Robert McHenry, OPP's Chairman, commented: "The fact that the NHS is once again coming under close public scrutiny over care standards, suggests that there is a real need for interventions based on this MBTI report. The MBTI framework deserves its global reputation for helping individuals and organisations become more productive. The Myers-Briggs Report for Healthcare Professionals is unique in the marketplace; it can absolutely enable healthcare professionals to improve their own job performance and their interactions with patients.
"We have heard in the news that there is often a lack of focus within the NHS on engaging patients in their own clinical care, despite strong evidence that this can make a real difference to treatment outcomes. By raising awareness of personality differences, use of this report will help front-line staff improve the quality of care experienced by patients, reduce the impact of work stress, and increase patient satisfaction."
