Development matters in the NHS

The cumulative effect of several significant Department of Health (DH) initiatives has arguably contributed to the current emphasis on performance development within the National Health Service (NHS). Consideration of the literature suggests that policy appears to be driven by two key and connected aspects of reform: modernization of services including, the efficiency and effectiveness of those services; and continuing development of health care professionals. Directives including the introduction of the National Patient Safety Agency – Building a safer NHS for Patients (DH 2001), Creating a Patient-led NHS (DH 2005a) and the development of Foundation Trusts (DH 2005c) are instrumental to the modernization agenda and strive to ensure a safe approach to care that is not only patient focused but patient led. Initiatives supporting continuing professional development, including Modernizing Medical Careers (DH 2004a), Modernizing Nursing Careers (DH 2006c), and the regulation of Health Professionals in the twenty-first century (Secretary of State 2007) could be considered the vehicles by which service developments may be achieved.
