The need for change within the National Health Service (NHS) to improve performance and increase value for money has been discussed for many years by academics, practitioners and political parties. Change initiatives have come and gone and yet the problems still exist. This research explores possible changes in practice that may be required to improve the performance of operating theatres within a diagnostic and treatment centre in England - Trust X. The research investigates the difficulties of implementing such changes within Trust X, gives some insight into why these difficulties arise, and suggests possible future options as to how the aforementioned difficulties may be addressed.

Key Words: case study • clinician • surgical services • theatre performance
