Webinar #277 Prof Paul Johnson - Promoting and modelling truth in a chaotic workplace

Recorded on 11 December 2025 for ICMDA Webinars.

Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Prof Paul Johnson

In a chaotic and under-resourced workplace, conflicting motives and drivers exist, and pressure to meet treatment targets and address huge waiting list backlogs, can easily lead to a culture in which there is subtle creativity with the truth.

As apprentices of Jesus, we are called to model a different way - a Christian counterculture - in which truth and justice are central, and in which Kingdom values are prioritised. In this talk we will reflect together on promoting and modelling truth in a chaotic workplace.
