I find it interesting. I have been thinking about the structures in our organisation and the loss of clinical talent to management structures and thought how could this be improved. It struck me that consultants who have management duties manage clinical loads. Mr Trodden is undertaking a clinic once a fortnight (I think). Henry Ticehurst did a clinic for a while as MD. I think it would be a thought to encourage and then to expect all managers possibly excluding EDs to have clinical input. This has a number of benefits;<br />1. Keep all senior managers in touch with the front line and patient care and perhaps this should also be part of the "Principles of Care - continuing patient contact at all levels of the Trust". This should NOT include any bank/locum work they do - should be job planned and made sacrosanct.<br />2. Keep highly trained clinicians in clinical practice perhaps even in supervision of others - use of their services enabling other managers to be redeployed (this is not meant as a cost saving exercise)<br />3. Any management service changes will be experienced from their own front line practice - what they change will affect them personally (at least in part). Make relevant service changes and redesign fit for purpose.<br />4. Increase respect and willingness of clinicians to engage with management as a combined group as opposed to a seperate groups as at present<br />5. Open up transparency and remove the notion that poor clinicians will somehow make better managers - i.e. promoted out of their competency zone. This I have witnessed leads to stress and work related poor behaviours which damage the organisation in the longer run.<br />6. It has the potential to remove meetings and lets face it, fewer meetings may be a good thing!<br />Thanks for letting me suggest this to you.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1340776928818677122.post-66613325784819717132014-05-01T08:37:52.923+01:002014-05-01T08:37:52.923+01:00No that's not the intention, the figure was pr...No that's not the intention, the figure was provided as an example to help staff understand the scale of the value.

Is the intention to reduce Band 6 posts and if so do where the reductions will be made? <br />Thanks Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1340776928818677122.post-91774110852187509852014-04-14T10:15:27.090+01:002014-04-14T10:15:27.090+01:00It seems to me that nobody is challenging the gove...It seems to me that nobody is challenging the government about the cuts. This government is selling the nhs off to private companies and everyone is keeping quiet about it. NHS England have appeared from nowhere as another tier of top management to do the governments bidding whilst hiding in plain view. The important issues are not being talked about.
