Clinical Governance, Organisational Culture and Change Management in the new NHS

Abstract: A study is reported that examined leadership of executives and non-executives in NHS trusts in implementing organisational interventions to support clinical governance Structured interviews were conducted face to face on site with up to four respondents per trust fulfilling the roles of chief executive, clinical governance lead and non-executive director with a lead role in clinical governance This yielded 151 interviews with staff in all 47 trusts in the West Midlands Respondents were asked their views on the vision for cultural change and the objectives for achieving change locally, the impact of clinical governance in the trusts, particularly on clinicians' attitudes and behaviour, the types of organisational interventions and external support for change used Results showed a more open culture was seen as a desirable outcome, but trust leaders do not explicitly take responsibility for leadership action to achieve change While clinical staff were reported in some trusts as having overwhelmingly either positive or negative attitudes, perceived ambivalence by clinical staff towards clinical governance was most commonly reported Education interventions and facilitative interventions predominate, with few examples of managerial interventions, such as performance review, at directorate or team level being used External sources of advice were used by few trusts, where reliance was most often upon individuals seeking education or advice from others, with very few involving external others in the trusts' clinical governance processes on a systematic basis Trust leaders are failing to take a systematic approach to the design and implementation of organisational interventions that could impact on the culture change goals of clinical governance

Using Strengths-Based Practice to Support Culture Change

Abstract: SUMMARY Workplaces across the globe have experienced an unprecedented pace of change. The effects of a problem focus, de-personalisation and over regulation in long-term care settings are experienced similarly by carers, residents, their families and nursing homes as a whole. A pathology focus is no longer appropriate, inviting a paradigm shift to explore how accessing the unique strengths and resources of all parties becomes an imperative role in changing organizational culture. This paper draws comparisons between the experiences and tasks of all those involved in care settings. Adapting the powerful work of Eron and Lund (1996) to organizational settings, this paper describes a clear intervention model and the effects of strengths-based practice on carers, residents, family members and organizational culture when utilized in a nursing home consultation. The model is not only a reactive intervention model, but is a way of re-mobilizing and motivating carers, residents and care settings to be at their best.
