DESCRIPTION:Anne McBride\, Professor of Employment Relations\, will give 
 a talk on “What are we learning from studying new ways of working in hea
 lthcare organisations – and can it lead to changes in research questions
 \, policy and practice?”\n\nThe People\, Management and Organisations di
 vision will be hosting a special lecture on 6th November 2019 as part of
  a cross-school AMBS inaugural lecture series.\n\nThe lectures provide a
 n opportunity for new or recently promoted Professors to celebrate their
  achievements\, and present an overview of their own contribution to the
 ir field of cutting-edge research and highlight the latest developments 
 in a particular discipline.\n\nAnne McBride\, Professor of Employment Re
 lations\, will give a talk on “What are we learning from studying new wa
 ys of working in healthcare organisations – and can it lead to changes i
 n research questions\, policy and practice?”\n\nOver the last two decade
 s\, there have been persistent calls for ‘new ways of working’ in health
 care organisations – both here and across the globe. In the UK\, policy 
 documents are continually aspiring to ‘re-shape the workforce’ in one wa
 y or another\, be it through increasing the flexibility of current staff
  in the re-allocation of tasks and blurring of professional boundaries\,
  or the introduction of new roles and the changing of skill mix.  Repeat
 ed waves of initiatives\, however\, leave unchanged the perception that 
 current ways of working are less than optimal – is it possible for resea
 rch to break this cycle?\n\nAlongside colleagues across the University\,
  Anne has had the opportunity to study a number of these (often conteste
 d) new ways of working.  In her lecture\, Anne will examine the challeng
 es that such changes raise for employees and managers. She notes\, “The 
 idea of increasing healthcare workforce flexibility has emerged as a con
 stant theme in framing attempts to better meet healthcare needs. I will 
 draw on interdisciplinary research with colleagues (within the Institute
  of Health Policy and Organisations\; Work and Equalities Institute\; an
 d GM CLAHRC) to identify the opportunities and limitations of these work
 force initiatives.  Presenting an overview of this research also enables
  me to reflect on the meaning of interdisciplinary working\, our contrib
 utions to soft regulation (rather than policy) and potential conflicts o
 f interest in developing impact.”
