Doctors rarely enter the health service to manage and lead – they do so to help patients, to give advice as trusted healthcare professionals. This is an age-old truth but also an increasingly challenging and pertinent one given the central position of medical leadership within the 21st-century NHS. In light of high-profile news regarding care quality and efficiency, as well as increasing management and financial responsibilities for doctors and senior medical professionals, establishing successful leadership is vital to the future of the NHS.
Within this context, and with 58% of respondents from our survey of more than 100 leaders in the NHS having little or no confidence that they have successors in place for medical leadership roles, surely it’s time to think differently about how we manage medical leadership talent?
