Change Management in Nursing 

You would make a brilliant nurse lecturer! I know how much you love your job and all the good you are doing as a nurse, but you would be amazing for students.

Hello Claire, thank you for making this video, much appreciated.

Thank you so much. So informative

Hi Claire, this is such a useful video for me as i'm about to start prep for my final nursing degree assessment, which is to create an academic poster about a change management proposal! You've really seen me through the three years of my training and i love seeing what you're up to next. Lots of love xx

This was so helpful thank you! ♥ i didn't know that you could go straight in to gp practice NQ, i thought you had to a seperate course. I'd love to work in a gp practice! I'm doing the second part of my dissertation (we have it in patches now) and you have helped me through my entire degree :) x

Hi Claire, you are so inspiring its contagious!! I qualified in September 2020 and unfortunately never had a placement in a GP practice. It is something that I am thinking about increasingly due to the 1:1 care one can give a patient instead of running around 8 patients all shift and none of them getting the quality of care they deserve. I am actively seeking moving away from the ward right now. However, 1) I dont know where to start to find jobs in a GP practice as they are never advertised on the nhs jobs sites I use. And 2) without prior experience how do I begin to even demonstrate that I would make a great GPN (I do believe that I would). I was formerly a principal officer for a local authority doing housing project management. I studied business management and did my diploma in management studies in 2005 and change management was one of the modules as was managing people etc etc. Back then becoming a nurse was never on the cards - but now. Using all those management theories in nursing feels somewhat like I have come full circle but I can add more value as a nurse now. I'm excited for the future! I share your enthusiasm for a good theory! Inertia was a work my management lecturer used all the time when talking about businesses and people who were resistant to change. I've never forgotten that word! It basically means the tendency to do nothing - which us very typical of bureaucratic institutions... Do any spring to mind to you? Ha ha. Seriously I think the NHS doesnt suffer from inertia, rather the employees do - often people at the top see the reasons and need for change but those at the bottom believe it to be the other way around which is interesting because sometimes it can create a stand off and resistance. I love management theory!!! Definitely a place for it in nursing these days - or a place for understanding it although its not for everyone of course! Thank again.

Can you give any examples of change please :) x
