Transformation

29 February 2012
Leadership as well as management
Leadership is of the spirit, compounded of
personality and vision,
Its practice is an art
Management is more a matter of accurate
calculation, of statistics, of methods, of
timetables and routine,
Its practice is a science

Health and well being, not just
health services
Making the system respond to the
patient and client, rather than the
person to the system
A system based on strong internal
motivation
Vision for Change
Integrated primary and community
care services supporting people to
live independently for as long as
reasonably possible
Structures and control procedures
that serve the strategy
Quality and safety
Patient experience
Goethe
For people to achieve all that is
demanded of them they must
regard themselves as greater
than they are
