The main aim of this study was to determine the impact of Brexit on the NHS service. Other objectives included an examination of some of the challenges that the NHS system might face while striving to assure better health outcomes in the post-Brexit era, as well as recommend some of the strategies that the institution could implement towards addressing the perceived challenges with which Brexit might be associated. Imperative to note is that the study employed the Games Theory to explain some of the effects that a country’s withdrawal from a continental bloc could have on its public service; including the health sector. It is further notable that this study relied on secondary data to collect and analyze information regarding the current and future impact of Brexit on the NHS. Indeed, most of the findings concurred with the current literature regarding the complexity and mixed outcomes surrounding the debate of Brexit versus NHS. On the one hand, some of the secondary sources consulted acknowledged that Brexit promises positive outcomes in terms of improved funding. Particularly, these studies contended that the £19 billion that the UK has been channeling to the EU could be redirected to other government priorities and public service in the UK, including the NHS. However, studies that argue that Brexit poses a negative impact on NHS suggest that future uncertainties surrounding the immigration status of EU-origin staff account for the mass exit. The studies hold further that the departure might lead to a significant increase in vacancy rates, with the cost of training nurses and doctors to replace the departing groups documented to exceed that which the UK would have incurred to import trained workers. Therefore, lasting solutions lie in the provision of adequate resources, political will, and the involvement of EU staff in feedback provision, cost-effective analyses of response strategies, and regular seminars and conferences that seek to sensitize workforces regarding the criticality of aligning their personal goals to the overall mission and vision of NHS. Whereas Brexit’s uncertainties reflect a looming crisis at the NHS, the manner in which senior leaders and managers will transform challenges into opportunities for improvement will shape the ability of the institution to emerge victorious.

Memorial Medical Center has been licensed for 423 acute care beds. In addition, the institution is affiliated with Sutter Health. Indeed, the latter is a not-for-profit association incorporating service providers. Apart from the main specialties highlighted above, Memorial Medical Center has also been documented to offer newborn intensive care. Established in 1970 with a capacity of 99 beds, the recent improvements are attributed to the period after 1996, which has seen it gain affiliation with Sutter Health. Regarding Doctors Medical Center, the institution was established in 1962 and sought to offer healthcare services to the surrounding community. At the time, it was referred to as Doctors Hospital of Modesto before being renamed in 1979. Currently, the facility has over 2,600 employees and forms a dynamic facility with 461 beds. Hence, comparing the two institutions suggests that Doctors Medical Center has a relatively higher bed capacity (461) compared to Memorial Medical Center’s 423 beds. Based on the analysis of the two institutions, a higher bed capacity makes the Doctor Medical Center of more preference. In addition, the institution is preferred due to the capacity to meet patient demands that are deemed challenging. Similarly, the institution remains superior due to the presence of highly specialized expertise and hands-on attention that promise to minimize medication errors while assuring patient satisfaction and, in turn, curbing avoidable re-hospitalizations.

The purpose of this qualitative descriptive case study is to examine the nature of medication errors in the retail pharmaceutical context and the factors that contribute to these errors. The population of study will be the current staff of retail pharmaceutical organizations in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Area. The study will target 100 Pharmacists from CVS Pharmacy and Wal-Mart Pharmacy. Pharmacists will be interviewed at appropriate times, and the researcher will seek to gain more understanding of the types of medication errors registered in their organization, the seriousness of the errors, and the factors contributing to these errors. The data will also include organizational records and observation of the medication dispensing and management practices at the retail pharmaceutical industry. The implication for social change includes the potential to provide leaders in the retail pharmaceutical industry with information that will help them address the issue of medication errors. This qualitative descriptive case study seeks to investigate the problem by exploring the nature of medication errors in the retail pharmaceutical context and associated factors. The study will focus on a population drawn from the current staff of retail pharmaceutical organizations in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Area. Findings of the study will help leaders in the retail pharmaceutical industry to address the issue of medication errors. The study will also advance research on the subject of medication safety by identifying new areas for future research.
