Equity & Excellence:Liberating the NHS: Key themes
• Commissioner / Provider split• GP Commissioners: National Commissioning Board • Accelerated progress to Foundation Trusts for
Providers • Economic Regulator/ Care Quality Commission • Public Health separated from the NHS
Underpinning Principles
• “No decision about me, without me”: patient focus and involvement enhanced
• Increased clinical empowerment • Outcomes based on clinical evidence not process
“Our intention is to create an NHS which is much more responsive to patients, and achieves better outcomes, with increased autonomy and clear accountability at
every level.”
“It might be possible to describe being an NHS Top Leader as a state of mind which can be practised and developed – an attitude of openness to new experiences, acute self-insight both in terms of strengths and weaknesses, the willingness and ability to confront difficult challenges with resilience and humour, as being an effective influencer and communicator, and as a person who passionately believes in the fundamentals of the NHS as being patient-centred, fair for all and free for all.”
- Dr Foster Intelligence 2010 unpublished
“just as those who aspire to be Top Leaders need to be capable of self-scrutiny in terms of their strengths, weaknesses, experiences and responses, they need to be accessible, open and ‘recognisably human’ for colleagues at all levels in their organisations whilst remembering that they cannot afford to share each worry lest it snowball into a crisis of confidence in them as leaders. In short, Top Leaders have to develop balancing skills and judgement about what behaviour is appropriate and required in each situation.”
- Dr Foster Intelligence 2010 unpublished
