New model of leadership, Storey & Holti (2013)

Scene 5

Is   nasogastric  tube feeding the  right decision  for this patient?

The document highlighted the clinical actions that were a requirement within the Alert based on the following questions :

Is  this the  right time  to place the  nasogastric  tube and is the appropriate equipment available?

Is  there sufficient  knowledge/expertise  available at this time to test for safe placement of the  nasogastric  tube?

With the use of compassionate leadership successful roll out acknowledging cultural challenges may have made roll out of change smoother and within shorter time frame Patient safety was achieved with the   sucessful  roll out of the intended change Staff awareness around the importance of patient safety was instrumental in the success. Staff engagement  has been maintained following  the initial roll out.

The King’s fund through extensive research and analysing evidence of the failures within the NHS identifies best practice by acknowledging leadership as “the most influential factor in shaping organisational culture” ( Westt  et al, 2015)
