This module intends to equip students with the relevant knowledge, skills and attitudes to confidently and competently negotiate change within an identified area of health or social care. Students are expected to develop a proposal for change rather than carry out the change.

The indicative content includes:

Critical evaluation of change and change management theories in order to be able to identify appropriate processes for particular change initiatives

Critical exploration of frameworks for the development of a change proposal

The context and meaning of change - Organisational Culture and its impact on change

Critical exploration of leadership and change - critical evaluation of leadership and the role of change agents

Process and drivers for change - evaluation of the importance of measuring and monitoring change

The aim of this thought provoking and stimulating module is to ensure you have the knowledge and understanding to develop a proposal for change focusing on your workplace. Within health and social care organizational change is a constant phenomenon therefore all those working within these organizations need to have the ability to develop a proposal for change, before instigating the change process in order to facilitate sucess. This module has its focus on work based learning which is supported by the appropriate theoretical perspectives. You will develop theoretical knowledge about change and change management which you will then develop into a proposal to apply in practice if you choose to do so, however the enactment of the project is not a requirement for the module. Some theoretical knowledge will be provided on Blackboard as well as on the face to face contact time however other knowledge will be gained via independent study and your tutorials with your supervisor.
