“The desire to restructure an organisation or bring in a new policy or a new way of operating are significant drivers for change in organisations. Critically analyse the impact of one such change on a part of the NHS that you are familiar with. Use academic theory and academic literature to underpin your analysis:
As a guide to preparing your report consider the following ideas:
• Provide a short profile of the element of the NHS you have chosen (must be one chosen hositpial or department within a hositpial, NOT the NHS as whole.)
• Critically analyse drivers and context of change as it affects the element of your choice
• Critically analyse what has changed or should change in this organisation as a result of your chosen theme (focus on 4 key issues rather than several issues)
• Critically analyse how this change has been managed or should be managed and to what extent it can be managed
• Critically analyse the impact on people and the human side of change
• Provide recommendations to the organisation on how to better manage, respond to or cope with the change taking into consideration the organisational impact and human side of change
You should not collect primary data (e.g interviews). You must rely only on your personal experience, organisational sources (e.g. websites, documents), news media and other credible online sources for facts and information. You should analyse these facts and information using academic theory and academic literature covered in this module to present your evaluation and recommendations in relation to change at the organisation
