Copyright and re-use policy See http://shura.shu.ac.uk/information.html Sheffield Hallam University Research Archive http://shura.shu.ac.uk Making a Difference: How Health Visitors Understand the Social Processes of Leadership Karen Stansfield A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Sheffield Hallam University for the degree of Doctor of Business Administration August 2017 Abstract Leadership has become a pre-requisite for all health professionals working at every level in healthcare. The need to strengthen leadership in health visiting has been voiced in health care policy for the past eighteen years (Department of Health (DH), 1999 & 2006; National Health Service (NHS) England, 2016). Yet there is still a lack of research examining how health visitors understand leadership, with, much of the existing research on leadership focusing on leaders “per se” as opposed to leadership as a social process. This study sought to understand how health visitors perceive their leadership role, and how leadership is demonstrated in the delivery of the health visiting service in the context of the NHS. The aim being to enable the researcher to examine how health visitors understand leadership as a social process.

  • Harnessing a Public Health Asset
    Harnessing a Public Health Asset The Health Visiting Service in England is facing another period of significant change including uncertainty around funding of SCPHN training, apprenticeships and perhaps most notably the ramifications following its transfer to Local Authorities on October 1st 2015. This was arguably a natural transition as Public Health and School Nursing had already transferred across. However the budgets for health visiting services that were also transferred across to the local authority were not ring fenced. This occurred at the same time as large spending cuts in Public Health were announced namely £200 million in 2015-16, £77 million in 2016-17 and £84 million in 2017-18 (Unite 2016). Currently Local Authorities are proposing cuts to Health Visiting Services despite Public Health England renewing the five mandated visits in March 2017. A report by Unite (2016) cited Harrow’s planned budget in 2015 proposed a 100% cut to the Health Visiting budget for 2018-19, £1 million cuts to Barnsley, Brighton and Waltham Forest whilst Sheffield had to make savings of £1.3 million between 2016-19 and Southwark & Lewisham cut 40 - 60 Health Visiting jobs. These are but a few examples of cuts occurring all across England. This is set against the backdrop of the recent significant public purse investment into educating Health Visitors. In 2010 the Coalition Government made a commitment to transform the Health Visiting service by increasing the workforce by 4200 and so commenced the Health Visitor Implementation Plan in 2011. A largescale publicity programme was launched to aid recruitment and HEIs started offering two intakes a year to achieve the target number by the planned date of end of March 2015, alongside this was a drive to recruit return to practice Health Visitors.
