Evaluation of a Service Development Group

Abstract

Addresses the subject of evaluation of performance of a Mental Health Services Management Development Group over the period of one year. Looks at the issues of organizational change through becoming a community trust, closure of a mental health hospital and associated transfer of services to the community. Specifically describes a number of indicators against which the evaluation will take place: setting and meeting service objectives, how communication with staff and service users takes place, the management development process for the senior managers involved and task outcomes from the Group′s meetings. In conclusion, sets the scene for the evaluation report at the end of 1992.
