The Practice Education Team was increased fivefold with no extra investment as a result of these improvements. Student satisfaction results amongst ODPs and nurses have increased alongside staff morale and productivity.

Innovation is a key driver for any organization’s competitiveness and sustainability. Even in the public sector, a lack of innovation may affect organizations in many different ways, ranging from lost opportunities for more efficient and innovative processes to staff morale decrease; staff that embeds organizational knowledge, values and culture. Innovation can provide new ways of doing things; strengthening competitive advantages or providing more competitive products and services. Innovative organizations also make jobs more fulfilling, and ultimately making the world a better place. Board directors need to be more than just observers. According to Chouaibi, Boujelbene, and Affes (2009), board directors do have a main role in what driving innovation concerns, and that there is a need for an adequate framework in order to promote such involvement from the board of directors. Moreover, Saravia and Saravia-Matus (2017) suggest the problem of the determination of causality has become an increasingly important question in the field of corporate governance. By following a logical thinking process, we ended at a pragmatic and deployable model backed by logical cause and effect. Taking a business policy approach, we argue that it is possible to attain more innovative organizations and innovation governance should be on every board’s priority list.

Skilled practitioners recognize these challenges and come equipped with a toolbox designed to communicate well with patients, as they know good communication skills denote good patient care.

Many psychiatric hospitals in the UK have closed. Factors influencing staff morale around the time of a hospital closure will affect the functioning of that institution. This study surveyed staff anxieties, attitudes and expectations in a major psychiatric hospital three weeks prior to its closure. We found evidence of widespread denial despite energetic dissemination of information. There were also significant differences between staff groups. Our findings will have implications for the management of future hospital closures.“We have to get it into our heads that a hospital is like a shell, a framework to contain certain processes, and when the processes are superseded, the shell must, most probably, be scrapped and the framework dismantled” (Enoch Powell, 1961).
