That’s the title of a three year NHS project being carried out to find out how middle and frontline hospital managers handle the pressures and demands of a constantly changing health service.
Given the recent Staffordshire hospital scandal where managers patently did not carry out their duties properly this initiative is not before time. It also fits in neatly with the NHS Leadership programme.
Cranfield School of Management and Cranfield Health have been awarded a research grant of £387,000 from – wait for it – the NHS National Institute for Health Research, Service Delivery and Organisation Research Programme (phew!) to fund the project.
I think I’ll now ask that august body for a fiver to come up with a slightly catchier name for itself. Why is it that the NHS likes to have longer and longer titles for some of its organisations and staff?
