Developing effective leadership in the NHS to maximise the quality of patient care

Our commission has been assessing the leadership and management needs of the NHS for the past nine months.

There is significant evidence that good leadership has a positive effect on organisational performance; at a time of great pressure in the NHS, leadership is critically important.

Using feedback from a number of experienced NHS leaders, Chris Roebuck reviews past NHS leadership development and identifies leadership development options from the commercial sector that would benefit the NHS.
