Assignment title Unit 26 / Facilitating Change In Health And Social Care
Purpose of this assignment
Health and social care services are continually subjected to many types of change: political, legal, organisational, demographic, cultural and technological. New ideas about the best ways to provide care for individuals such as partnership and collaborative working, constraints on public spending, and advances in technology all impact on organisations, staff and those who use services. Poorly managed change never works well, as it creates stress and resistance, so learning how to manage change effectively and help others in this continual process is crucial to effective service delivery. This unit introduces learners to the range of factors that can influence change; the effects of change on organisations, staff and users of services and the key principles of successful change management. Learners are also encouraged to evaluate the benefits of continuing change in health and care services.
