Description
‘If healthcare professionals and organisations are going to deliver the improvements we all want to see, then healthcare organisations have to learn and develop, and support their staff. This book will help organisations to change systematically. The book includes lots of practical ways to help organisations look at themselves, plan and implement change. I recommend this book as being most suitable for those in trusts who have responsibility for organisational and personal development, workforce development confederations and staff who wish to access development opportunities, to dip into when planning their own learning journey. I am sure that you will find it interesting and useful.’
Jan Nasir, in her Foreword
‘This book is an excellent guide, addressing the steps involved in developing a learning organisation and culture. It will help to translate aspirations into reality and demonstrates the importance of linking investments in individuals’ learning to a learning strategy for the whole organisation.’

'This book deals with a very important concept that has much to offer the health service. Those involved in primary care policy should read this book' BRITISH JOURNAL OF GENERAL PRACTICE

'This book inspires confidence that the NHS is committed to the educational/professional development of the organisation and the people who work within it' CLIMB UPDATE
'In aiming for a comprehensive text, the authors cover a good deal of ground on organisational development and learning. The result is a wide-ranging guide to implementing some of the ideas on organisational learning currently popular within the NHS. The book provides a useful introduction to organisational learning and should encourage anyone interested to read more widely around the subject. I would particularly recommend it for undergraduate students and for managers coming to the subject for the first time' BRITISH JOURNAL OF HEALTHCARE COMPUTING AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
'This book addresses everyone who works in the healthcare community with its message of lifelong learning for all staff to increase the quality of care in the National Health Service. A useful guide for planning strategies of learning' INFORMATICS IN PRIMARY CARE
'This is an excellent tool, examining most areas that would be necessary in establishing and running a practice. The book is easy to understand and comprehensive. It should be considered a resource, kept close for quick reference, and used regularly. I cannot recall another such book so well done, thorough, and easy to understand. Every physician starting a practice should use it. 4 Stars!'
