  4. University of Birmingham, main library

  5. DH NCB NIHR LETB HEE PHE The new NHS infrastructure NICE

  6. Fire fighting The practice of dealing with problems as they arise rather than planning strategically to avoid them

  7. Omphaloskepsis The contemplation of one's navel which is an idiom usually meaning complacent self-absorption

  8. A burning platform for change • Harsh financial climate • Ageing population • £20 billion of efficiency savings required within NHS by 2015

  9. National priorities • Stemming the increase in emergency admissions • Service reconfiguration; making the shift from hospital to community care; seamless care • Addressing inappropriate variations in clinical practice; clinical safety and quality

  10. A pressing need for innovation “We need to radically transform the way we deliver services. Innovation is the only way we can meet these challenges” “Put simply, we must make innovation a priority. We know that the NHS can spread new ideas at pace and scale when it puts its mind to it, and we need to do more of this.”

  11. Copying is good “ Innovation ... needs to be replicable – and replicated – across similar settings. So innovation is as much about applying an idea, service or product in a new context, or in a new organisation, as it is about creating something entirely new. Copying is good.”

  12. Positioning librarians in the workplaceas catalysts for improvement • Aligning with NHS priorities • Multidisciplinary working • Changing skill mix • Role substitution • Role enlargement • Role enhancement

  13. Enhancing the role of librarians Role enhancement involves expanding a group of workers' skills so they can assume a wider and higher range of responsibilities through innovative and non-traditional roles
