Common use of Scope of Work and Background Clause in Contracts

Scope of Work and Background. The NHS is facing a period of unprecedented change – probably the most complex and significant in its history. The role of managers and leaders during this transition period is critical. They will need to help create the conditions for the new system to succeed, balance a number of competing tensions and „chart a path‟ through both „for‟; and „with‟ their staff, ensuring deep engagement in order to improve the quality of services, retain financial control and meet the quality and productivity challenge. It is with this new phase of the NHS in mind, that the Institute for Innovation and Improvement has refreshed its award winning NHS Graduate Management Training Scheme in order to strengthen the development of emerging talent and leadership capacity to effectively lead and manage change through transition and into the future. We are refreshing the scheme ready for the 2011 intake in terms of:  A new recruitment and assessment process that measures updated leadership behaviours based on the new NHS Leadership Framework, together with a greater emphasis on emotional intelligence and NHS values  A new education tender stressing the need for leaders for improvement in the new NHS  New competencies both technical and leadership (mapped against updated professional body and NHS needs and the new Leadership Framework)  New work placement experiences to reflect the changing nature of the new NHS structures The Institute for Innovation and Improvement therefore invites providers of quality educational input to express an interest in the delivery of one, or a multiple of, education inputs for the 2011 intake to support the refreshed scheme and to contribute to the challenges facing the NHS.
