title: Practice development in healthcare service reform.
abstract: This article examines the proposals contained in health minister Lord Darzi's Next Stage Review final report and considers how clinical teams can implement them in their everyday practice. While the article acknowledges that clinical teams may already meet many of the recommendations in the review, some may have insufficient evidence to prove that they have, or are not yet working systematically enough to ensure consistently high standards of practice. The article provides teams with approaches and tools that enable effective developments in practice.
