The Institution That Wasn't: The birth, short life, and death of the British National Health Service UniversityTaylor, S., Bell, E., Grugulis, C. Irena, Storey, J. January 2007 (has links)
Yes / This report presents a detailed account of a major educational initiative in the British health
service, the organisation with the largest workforce in Europe. The initiative was to set up a
`university for the National Health Service¿, an aspiration that gave birth to `NHSU¿. Work
began in 2001, but the project ended abruptly in 2005. This paper is based on the analysis
of a series of in-depth interviews with senior managerial staff and a review of policy
documents. Our analysis explores both the political and the organisational aspects of
NHSU. We conclude that two aspects of the initiative are key to understanding its demise:
its politically-led nature and its challenge to the idea of a `university¿. Finally, we attempt to
draw conclusions from the experience of NHSU to inform other state-sponsored education
and training interventions.
