Handbook of Medical Leadership and Management

The Handbook of Medical Leadership and Management couples the essentials of clinical leadership with a practical approach to help readers be effective clinical leaders and managers. Beginning with a theoretical analysis it then focuses on practical ways of being a good manager and leader and the day-to-day requirements of a consultant working within a multi-professional clinical team.

This is an essential resource for all those leading and managing a clinical team, which covers a broad understanding of the requirements of effective leadership. This includes quality care, patient safety, ensuring good outcomes, using data for improvement, commissioning services and developing business cases, as well as the development of person-centred care as well as the education of the next generation of leaders.
