Consultant General Paediatrician & Director of Strategy Research & Innovation, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, England

Bob Klaber is a Consultant General Paediatrician & Director of Strategy Research & Innovation at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust in London. Bob also trained as an educationalist alongside his paediatric training in London. He has a strong interest in individual and systems learning, quality improvement, behavioural insights work and leadership development. Bob is also a strong advocate for child health and co-leads the Connecting Care for Children (CC4C) integrated child health programme in North West London www.cc4c.imperial.nhs.uk , which is focused on developing whole population integrated care models of service and training within paediatrics and child health. Perhaps most importantly, Bob is increasingly convinced that we need to do more to reconnect our colleagues, teams & organisations with the extraordinary mission and purpose that is healthcare. And a focus on kindness needs to be at the heart of this. The work Bob and colleagues are leading on through the conversation for kindness is an attempt to build a global movement that will help keep the spotlight on this issue.
