Feedbacks/areas of improvement:
Structure & Formatting
The assignment does not follow a structured format suitable for publication, missing key sections like an abstract and keywords.
Lack of Personal Reflection
The writing is overly academic and detached, lacking personal engagement. NHS leadership challenges are discussed broadly but without personal insights or learning reflections.
Missed Opportunities for Critical Self-Analysis
The assignment explains what leadership should do but does not explore the writer’s personal experiences with leadership.
Heavy reliance on theory without linking it to real-life learning or emotions.
Superficial Engagement with Change Management Theories
Summarizes Kotter and Lewin’s models without critically evaluating their strengths, weaknesses, or relevance to the NHS. Lacks discussion on practical applications or limitations in a real-world NHS setting.
Limited Analysis of the NHS Leadership Framework
Mentions the framework but does not explore all 9 leadership dimensions in depth. Focuses only on a few dimensions (e.g., collaboration and shared purpose) while overlooking others.
💡 Example for Improvement:
· Leading with Care – How does AI align with compassionate patient care?
· Developing Capability – How does NHS leadership address AI training gaps?
· Holding to Account – How will AI ethics and performance be monitored?
6️⃣ Lack of In-Text Citations
Several broad claims are not backed by sources.
Example for Improvement: Instead of “AI enhances healthcare efficiency,” provide supporting evidence or reference relevant studies.
Suggestions for Improvement
Increase Reflection – Apply a reflective model (e.g., Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle) to analyze personal experiences, insights, or NHS case studies.
Strengthen Change Management Analysis – Go beyond summarizing theories and critically assess their applicability to NHS leadership challenges.
Expand NHS Leadership Framework Discussion – Analyze all 9 leadership dimensions, linking each to AI challenges and leadership practices.
Enhance Ethical & Sustainability Considerations – Use real NHS examples to explore ethical risks, leadership accountability, and sustainability concerns.
