Oxford Professional Practice: Handbook of Medical Leadership and Management

by Paula Murphy (Editor), Peter Lachman (Editor), Bradley Hillier (Editor)

Overview

The Handbook of Medical Leadership and Management couples the essentials of clinical leadership with a practical approach to help healthcare professionals 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 and those who aspire to lead, covering a broad understanding of the requirements of effective leadership. This includes quality care, patient safety, how to ensure good outcomes, using data for improvement, commissioning services and developing business cases, as well as the development of person-centred care and the education of the next generation of leaders.

Editorial Reviews

"...doctors in training and early career GPs see leadership as crucial - not an "add on", but a necessity in their daily lives. It's great to see a handbook to support doctors with their learning and development on this topic." — The Big GP Consultation

"...refreshing to see such a strong focus on equitable, compassionate and person-centred care. The need to recalibrate our healthcare system to ensure it delivers care that is convenient for patients, rather than providers is a key takeaway." — Rammina, Medical Doctor, Senior Lecturer in Clinical Leadership, Sheffield Hallam University

"This book is relevant to clinicians at every level within health and social care. Whilst there are some aspects that are specific to doctors (job planning etc), many of the key learnings are relevant for all healthcare professionals." — Rammina, Medical Doctor, Senior Lecturer in Clinical Leadership, Sheffield Hallam University

"For many of us our leadership skills have been shaped by hands on experience. This handbook helps to guide those emerging leaders with insights from those who have been through their own leadership journeys." — Qasim Malik, Junior Doctor, Clinical Education Fellow, University of Warwick
