Abstract

The recent National Health Service (NHS) reforms are having a fundamental impact upon the culture, structure and financing of the NHS, and the way in which patients receive care. The challenges this presents for the future of nursing practice, management and leadership are profound. This paper provides an account of how one NHS region, South West Thames, has sought to identify and develop the competencies required of future NHS trust nursing directors, and other top managers within the region, by participation in a sophisticated diagnostic process known as the Development Centre. The paper firstly explores the background to the Region's Career Development and Planning System (CDPS), then outlines the process of the identification of competencies, before exploring in detail the six stages of the Development Centre diagnostic process.

The role of job satisfaction, job dissatisfaction and demographic factors on physicians' intentions to switch work sector from public to private.

This study is based on a unique data set for the years 1988-2003 and uses structural equation models to examine the impact of job satisfaction and job dissatisfaction on physicians' intention to switch from public- to private-sector work. In Finland, physicians who work primarily in a public-hospital or health-centre setting can also run a private practice. Therefore, we also analysed the impact of having a private practice on a physician's intention to change sector. We found that private practice had a positive, statistically significant effect on the intention to switch sector in 1998 and 2003. Results also suggest that job satisfaction decreases a physician's intention to switch sector, although for 1998 it had no effect. Surprisingly, job dissatisfaction significantly increased the physicians' intentions to leave the public sector only in the 1988 data.
