Following the landmark publication of the Francis Report in February 2013, the result of a public inquiry into Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust, the monumental task of implementing its recommended culture change within the NHS has dominated the healthcare policy landscape.
This contribution from the Division of Occupational Psychology presents a series of chapters by occupational psychologists, each drawing on evidence and expertise from the field to address the question of how this culture change can be implemented within the NHS.
By employing occupational psychology evidence and expertise, each of the chapters explore different aspects of organisational culture - from the boards to the wards of hospitals - that must be addressed simultaneously in order to create an NHS that is patient-centred and safety focused.
