The recent National Health Service (NHS) reforms are having a fundamental impact upon the culture, structure and financing of the NHS, and the way in which patients receive care. The challenges this presents for the future of nursing practice, management and leadership are profound. This paper provides an account of how one NHS region, South West Thames, has sought to identify and develop the competencies required of future NHS trust nursing directors, and other top managers within the region, by participation in a sophisticated diagnostic process known as the Development Centre. The paper firstly explores the background to the Region's Career Development and Planning System (CDPS), then outlines the process of the identification of competencies, before exploring in detail the six stages of the Development Centre diagnostic process.
英国国家医疗服务体系（NHS）近期的改革正从根本上影响着NHS的文化、结构、资金状况以及患者接受护理的方式。这给未来护理实践、管理和领导工作带来了深远挑战。本文阐述了NHS的一个地区——泰晤士河南岸地区，是如何通过参与一个名为“发展中心”的复杂诊断过程，来努力确定并培养未来NHS信托护理主任以及该地区其他高层管理人员所需能力的。本文首先探讨了该地区职业发展与规划系统（CDPS）的背景，接着概述了能力确定过程，之后详细探讨了“发展中心”诊断过程的六个阶段。
