It is Monday and I am confused already!
The amount,variety and complexity of news about the NHS is staggering. I am struggling to keep up!
Just over the weekend we have seen reported that the NHS has been placed 14th out of 33 European healthcare systems, we are facing an 'Armageddon' in terms of spending and that the Government cannot promise that the NHS will not be saved from cuts over the coming months. In addition to that we see at the recent CIPD OD conference various senior executives within the NHS organisation describing how organisational development is fundamental to successful change and must not be underestimated or excluded from strategic planning.
So, which one of these directions should we follow? Our last blog looked at the quandary between cutting jobs or creating change - recent coverage does not move me to change my view.
What I see, hear and experience tells me that no-one is looking after the future of the NHS and the people within it or the clients that it serves. Everyone, it seems to me, is debating and arguing about what needs to happen whilst no clear action is being taken.
Whatever the appropriate route, whatever tough decisions have to be made people need to work together with the right attitude, consistency and passion to save an organisation that serves us and protects our greatest asset - our people.
