Establishment of Healthcare Organization under the Management of NHS UK

Introduction

The Government has proposed significant changes in the way the National Health Service organized in United Kingdom. There are numerous key changes to the NHS that have taken attention of critique and discussions. As results of change, the NHS will be streamlining with fewer layers of bureaucracy Strategic Health Authority and Primary Care Trust will be phasing out.

There will, for example, be opportunities for nursing and residential care services to work more closely with the new GP commissioners and councils in helping to shape the adult social care market. In other areas, reform may be too much too soon, at a time when efficiency savings need to be made within existing structures and a much reduced financial envelope (Smith, Ian, 2007, 15).

The impending restructuring of the NHS will take away the ring fenced health professional role when approaching the rehabilitation of patients with long-term conditions. The UK Secretary of State for Health has made it clear that any willing provider' allowed pitching for services in this area, an area traditionally the undisputed realm of health professionals. UK health professionals subjected to competition where we did not have any before. For example, suitably qualified exercise professionals will be able to compete for the provision of health promotion initiatives in special population groups, such as children with obesity, cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation, and post-injury rehabilitation.
